Item description from seller

The classic first edition. 1970 at copyright page; no additional printings. Unique 6" x 6" design. Red and beige pictorial boards, thick red borders w/bold black titles on all sides, light shelf wear. Cover depicts Charlie Brown seated on bench enjoying his brown bag sandwich. Thick heavy stock pages fine, no writing; interior continues w/the red bordered beige motif. Deep red endpapers. Bind fine; hinges intact. Scarce wrapper, light edge wear, rub, discoloration; protected in new clear sleeve. Extremely wide front and back flaps w/bold summary of this title. These are legitimate and simple, but tasty, recipes! Basic ingredients utilizing the traditional methods. Contents arranged alphabetical in sections: "Bread - white and wheat; Brown Bagger Hints; Cheese Balls; Desserts (a rather large selection); Deviled Eggs; Mayonaise; Potato Chips; Punch; Salads; Sandwiches (a rather large selection); and, Special Treats". Thirty-nine recipes in all w/an adjacent page of entertaining Peanuts strips. "Lunchtime! Lunchtime! Charlie Brown and Linus would be first to agree there's more to brown-bagging-it than jelly-bread sandwiches. If you're faced with making lunches day after day, for kids, or adults, rejoice and read on! June Dutton, fine cook, author of 'Peanuts Cook Book,' and mother of three, shares some of her best recipes. Charles M. Schulz packs in some delightful comments on primary eating habits and customs of his famed comic-strip gang of kids. To make your lunches look as good as they'll taste, brown bag them in Determined Productions Peanuts Lunch Bags." Not content with merely reprinting Schulz's previously published comics, Connie Boucher suggested an idea to Schulz. Why not create themed books featuring the beloved fictional gang of kids known as the "Peanuts". The square, colorful books were designed by her husband, Jim Young. Even the unflappable Schulz was amazed with the reception. Their first book, "Happiness Is a Warm Puppy" (1962), spent 45 weeks on the "New York Times" bestseller list. These classic "Peanuts" books were as engaging for adults as they were for children with their funny, hip aphorisims and the warm modernism of their design. 91 pages. Insured post. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
