Book-A-Day #17 (8/3): The Complete Peanuts: 1959 to 1960 by Charles Schulz

The big news in this volume is the birth of Charlie Brown's little sister Sally, but all of this is great stuff.

If your newspaper runs the '50 Peanuts reruns, you're reading 1959 right now, but don't let that stop you from getting this. Charles Schulz was a brilliant, and amazingly incisive, cartoonist, and these stories are some of the best -- and the most important -- stories to come out of the American 1950s.
