"The definitive Collection of Charles M.Schulz's Comic Strip Masterpiece." All daily and Sunday strips, 1950 to 1952.

From Garrison Keillor's Introduction:  "Charles Schulz was an innovative genius of American comics and also the marathon man, drawing panel after four-square panel, year after year, creating a fantasy world that connected to kids as well as adults and all based on powerful iconic characters who express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment and despair."

343 pages, each filled with the joy and anguish of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and all the gang, in their earliest years. 

 The dust jacket is slightly frayed around the edges, but the book is solid with crisp sharply-drawn pages.
