I am a brazilian architect, working now in a thesis research about movie theaters located in my city, Porto Alegre, in the south of Brazil. I found this book in B&N store, in New York. It's a great book! GOOD for my work in research end for teaching architecture design (at an architecture school)about movie theaters. (sorry for my poor english...)

Having worked and managed movie theatres from the 40s thru early 70s, and now considered a "dinosaur" of that age, was completely captivated by the coverage accomplished by Ms.Valentine, especially on the accomplishments of architect Lee.She captured the "flavor" and context of that wonderful era,never to be again. And surprise of surprises,I actually managed or knew intimately of some of the theatres Mr.Lee designed or worked on! I have nearly all the books published on movie theatres,et al,but have to admit this particular tome really grabbed me emotionally with text and photos so for the while it took me to read this book(hard to put down)I re-lived that era in a way I never thought possible. (The Arden in Lynwood, Tower in L.A., the old Alhambra in Alhambra, are only a few I "set foot in again"!)..if I could give it more than 5 stars I would! A tip of my hat to Ms.Valentine, to Mr.Lee, and the great bunch of people I worked with, and for, oh, so many, many years ago

My sister has written a very intelligent and well thought out book. She deserves to be rich and famous.

Pretty much the same as the special,(except for the Pawpet Show),
Charlie Brown waits for valentines with pie in the sky hopes. Snoopy makes a music box out of paper, while Sally makes a diamond and a club, and Charlie Brown watches his "something that is very nice" fall apart.

This book was really funny. Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy are probably the best charaters.

I'm a big Peanuts fan so this was a must-buy for me. It's a great collection of Valentine's day strips spanning almost 50 years. You can see how the characters' images have changed through the time. The simple truths they say about love are simply adorable. This book is great as a collectible or as a gift to someone special.

This brief collection, like the "Peanuts Christmas" book released a few months ago, takes Peanuts highlights centered around the chosen holiday and presents them in quite a nice format.

While not nearly as big or as long as "Peanuts Christmas," this short book has all of the heart and charm of everything Charles Schulz ever touched. All of your favorite Valentine-related strips are in here -- Snoopy's mountains of cards, Schroeder defending a Valentine-less Charlie Brown, and of course, laments for the Little Red-Haired Girl. Worth buying if you're a Peanuts fan or if you're in love with one. And I certainly hope this series continues -- let's see a "Peanuts Halloween" this fall!

This cute little book (29 pages, excluding the title page and so forth) is another excellent example of the work of the incomparable Charles M. Schulz. In this book it's St. Valentine's Day, the time of love, candy and Valentine cards. Peppermint Patty sends a card to Charlie Brown, but it's the Little Red-Haired Girl that his heart goes out to. Now, if Charlie Brown can only get her to notice him...

When I was a child, I absolutely loved the Peanuts, and I am so pleased that my own children have now fallen in love with those same funny characters. This book is large and attractive, with brightly colored pictures that are sure to please the young reader (and Peanuts fans of all ages)! My kids really loved a scene when Charlie Brown decides to practice giving the Little Red-Haired Girl a valentine with Snoopy, who surprises him by putting on a red wig!

This is a great book, and my family and I highly recommend it to you!

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang celebrate Valentine's Day. The story captured the imagination of my 20 month old and is now a staple of late-nite reading...even way past Valentine's Day. We had to explain to her that not all of the story is appropriate...Charlie "almost" punches Linus in the nose. Older kids will understand, but the story is still a good read to younger kids.

Pretty good. It's near Valentine's Day and everybody's in love. Even Janice Riker. Like the other ones though Rob always gets in trouble by listening to Soup. (By the way, did you know that Rob has the exact name as the author?)

Alright, I had to give this book four stars despite the painfulness of reading it. In fact, the only thing keeping it from a five is the memory of that torture (if that makes any sense). I gritted my teeth for the entire first three quarters of the novel but when I finally started in and read it straight through I truly appreciated it. It is a well written novel that I am glad I was forced to read. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get inside the mind of the Soviet system. I'll never forget this book and while I don't know that I would like to read more Soviet Realism, the cinematice style of Kataev has something to be said for it.
