Peanuts foreign-language and Braille books for the U.S. audience

Begun 2000. February 2nd, 2010 revision

Plenty of Peanuts books have been published in various countries in the world. I don't envision ever trying to list every foreign-language edition (then again, I never thought that I would go this far), but you can see a list of some example foreign non-English editions here. However, at various times Hallmark and Holt, Rinehart & Winston have published books in foreign languages for the U.S. audience. These appear to have been aimed at language students, rather than at people who are not native English speakers. Additionally, I am listing the Braille editions here, not because it's a foreign language (merely a letter set), but because I need somewhere to list them.

An asterisk (*) indicates that I own this book.

Please forgive any lack of accent marks, tildes, and such. I still haven't gotten a handle on entering some of the international characters.

Holt, Rinehart, Winston foreign editions

These are softback adaptations of the HRW "full books". Many of these were issued during the HRW "white cover" period, and these have similar cover designs, only French is in blue, and Spanish is in yellow. (These were also published in Canada, where the French edition may have served the native French speakers there.) Except, to drive collectors crazy, the French book Vas-Y, Charlie Brown is in yellow rather than blue, and uses an older cover design.

Peanuts Philosophers

Hallmark issued 3 sets of English-language minibooks in the Peanuts Philosophers series. Each set had four books which reprint a handful of strips at one panel per page. The first set of four was translated into three other languages.

Twin Vision Braille books

These are books produced by The American Brotherhood of the Blind (now known as The American Action Fund for Blind Adults and Children) - they took apart the standard Determined Productions editions of these books, insert pages with Braille and pages with raised versions of the pictures, and then bind them back together with a comb binding. Not intended for general circulation.

Other Braille books

These are just text, sometimes in editions with printed text as well as Braille.
