I really like these little Peanuts books by Charles M. Schulz. Each one is around 14.5cm square and printed in 3 colours throughout, but it’s the beautiful simplicity of both the design and content that makes them such a charming set. Here’s the details on the ones I have:

“Security Is A Thumb And A Blanket” by Charles M. Schulz.
Published by Determined Productions (1963). Designed by Jim Young.

“I Need All The Friends I can get” by Charles M. Schulz.
Published by Determined Productions (1964). Designed by Jim Young.

“Love Is Walking Hand In Hand” by Charles M. Schulz.
Published by Paul Hamlyn Ltd (1965). Designed by Determined Productions.

Norman McLaren

The wonderful work of Norman McLaren. A lovely DVD boxset was released in the UK by Soda Pictures a couple of years ago – and looks like they still have some available from their site (but may well be knocking about cheaper elsewhere by now!).
