==Books==
The ''Peanuts'' characters have been featured in many books over the years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://aaugh.com/guide/|title=Our Peanuts book collectors guide|website=AAAUGH.com|access-date=July 31, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=PEANUTS Reprint Books|url=http://www.fivecentsplease.org/dpb/books.html|last=Bang|first=Derrick|access-date=May 12, 2009}}</ref> Some represented chronological [[reprint]]s of the newspaper strip, while others were thematic collections such as ''Snoopy's Tennis Book'', or collections of inspirational adages such as ''Happiness Is a Warm Puppy''. Some single-story books were produced, such as ''Snoopy and the Red Baron.'' In addition, many of the animated television specials and feature films were adapted into book form.

The primary series of reprints was published by [[Rinehart & Company]] (later [[Holt, Rinehart and Winston]]) beginning in 1952, with the release of a collection simply titled ''Peanuts''. This series, which presented the strips in rough chronological order (albeit with many strips omitted from each year) continued through the 1980s, after which reprint rights were handed off to various other publishers. [[Ballantine Books]] published the last original series of ''Peanuts'' reprints, including ''Peanuts 2000'', which collected the final year of the strip's run.

Coinciding with these reprints were smaller paperback collections published by [[Fawcett Publications]]. Drawing material from the main reprints, this paperback series began with ''The Wonderful World of Peanuts'' in 1962 and continued through ''Lead On, Snoopy'' in 1992.

Charles Schulz had always resisted republication of the earliest ''Peanuts'' strips, as they did not reflect the characters as he eventually developed them. However, in 1997 he began talks with [[Fantagraphics Books]] to have the entire run of the strip, which would end up with 17,897 strips in total, published chronologically in book form.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/20040215/peanuts15/seattles-fantagraphics-books-will-release-the-complete-peanuts | work=The Seattle Times | first=Heather | last=McKinnon | title=Seattle's Fantagraphics Books will release 'The Complete Peanuts' | date=February 15, 2004 | access-date=November 3, 2008 | archive-date=December 11, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211192931/http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20040215&slug=peanuts15 | url-status=live }}</ref> In addition to the post-millennium ''Peanuts'' publications are BOOM!

In addition, almost all ''Peanuts'' strips are now also authoritatively available online at [[GoComics.com]] (there are some strips missing from the digital archive). ''Peanuts'' strips were previously featured on [[Comics.com]].
