This
winter, Thunder Bay Press is pleased to present The Snoopy Treasuresby
Peanuts expert Nat Gertler. Timed to the release of The Peanuts Movie,
this comprehensive guide tells the story of everyone’s favorite beagle from the
beloved childhood pet who inspired his creation, to his status as a cultural
icon and beyond.
The Snoopy Treasures
is divided into 12 sections covering Snoopy’s origins, his alter egos from Joe
Cool to the Flying Ace, his family at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, his friends in
the beloved Peanuts gang, and his prevalence in pop culture – in songs, movies,
books, plays, parades, museums, and even NASA, who named a lunar landing module
after him as they prepared to put man on the moon in 1969.
Each
page features original Peanuts panels, side-by-side comparisons showing
the evolution of Snoopy into the universally recognizable style we know today,
photographs from the Schulz museum, and ten pieces of pullout memorabilia: an
original Schulz drawing, a Snoopy baseball pennant (popular dorm décor in the
60s and 70s), a letter from President Ronald Reagan to Schulz, a bookmark, a
bumper sticker, a punch out model of the Red Baron’s plane, the last Peanuts
strip ever printed, and more.
Lifelong
fans and first-timers alike will discover something new within the pages of
this in-depth compendium, making The Snoopy Treasures the
perfect holiday gift for Snoopy lovers of all ages.

The 411:
I love this book. It is not only big and well written it is full of history for "REAL" fans of Snoopy. No stone is left unturned in this treasury of memorabilia.
Starting from the first few pages there is a ton of illustrations and information on yours and my favorite beagle.
From the creator of snoopy to Woodstock and even Snoop's family you will know all there is to know in this treasure trove.
I love the little sections of memorabilia like the pendent, book mark and letter from Ronald Reagan. So cool.
Great gift idea.
