It
is rather ambitious of me to start any galleries of Peanuts books as there
were so many. Consequently, (for now) I have limited the UK gallery to
the short-lived Knight Books series, the long-lived Coronet Books series
and subsequent publications by Ravette.
Coronet started issuing Peanuts books in 1967 as reprints of the US books published by Fawcett (which in themselves were extracts from a previous issue of books - see Originals Gallery). There were 89 Coronet Peanuts books, and strangely, unlike BC and Wizard of Id, only got the numbering wrong once ! No 42 was issued with '41' on the spine, so that it appeared that there were two No 41s and no No 42. The Ravette books started in 1988 as a series called "Snoopy Stars" of which there were 21. After a gap of 10 years, Ravette started an ongoing series called "Snoopy Features", some of which were reprints of the "Snoopy Stars" books, mixed in with a few new titles and some re-titled books. Below is a Gallery of all UK Knight, Coronet and Ravette books to date. |

The
unusual feature of these books is that the spine of the book is at the
top and the contents are all landscape. The first two books in 1969 and
1970 had an appropriate cover to match the layout within, but subsequent
books, including the 1970 and 1971 reprints of the first 2 books, did
not. Unusually, the advert on the last page promoted further Peanuts Books
from Coronet !

It
has recently come to my attention (by acquisition of the following books),
that Coronet Books started reprinting the earlier books in the same
cover format as their last 9 books, and appeared to do so out of sequence.
I do not know whether they succeeded in reprinting them all before their
demise, therefore this gallery is limited to the three reprints I have
in my collection...
I have subsequently been informed that No 42 was also reproduced in this format. Thanks to Peter Hall for this information and image. |
