The Art Book Collection contains Peanuts themed books by Schulz as well as art books by other authors that have a special connection to Schulz or Peanuts. The first Peanuts art book appeared in 1962 when the San Francisco based company, Determined Productions, Inc., published Happiness is a Warm Puppy. That title spent 45 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, reaching all the way to #2! Determined Productions went on to publish many other popular Peanuts art books, as well as other Peanuts products. Some of the Determined Productions art books, including Happiness is a Warm Puppy, were later republished by Twin Vision; these books contain Braille text and raised images

"Peanuts first appeared in October 1950 in eight daily newspapers. The feature was immediately popular and was soon picked up by hundreds of other newspapers throughout the country. By the end of the decade Schulz had become arguably the best-known cartoonist in the United States… By the time of Schulz's death [in 2000] he had drawn a total of 18,250 Peanuts strips, and the cartoon was syndicated in 2600 newspapers worldwide, appearing in 21 languages in 75 countries" (ANB).
