Getting it there before Christmas and getting Arrested cheaply

We’re now in the last two days of placing orders so that they get where they’re going before Christmas via Free Super Saver Shipping. And really, if you’re gonna spend money on the gift, isn’t it better to spend money on the gift than on the shipping? Of course, you have to order things that Amazon actually has in stock… but with things like the Peanuts Holiday DVD set and the most recent Complete Peanuts box set and A Treasury of Happiness in stock, this should not be too harsh a limit.

And it’s an utter coincidence – believe me, Amazon doesn’t warn me what they’re going to have on sale. But today’s one-day-only sale is on the complete DVD set for Arrested Development, the show whose Peanuts references we featured here just a few days back. Get all three seasons of a show that I really liked (and which builds its story well across the series) for $28.99… and as I said, free shipping getting it to you before Christmas. Note: this is not an all-ages series. I’m certainly not saying “if you like Peanuts, you’ll like this.” Even though I myself am a big fan of them both.

Peanuts First Edition guide

As proud as I am of my Peanuts Book Collectors Guide, it is not the be-all and end-all guide…. and as much as I have visions of making it so, the real life of being a father of two, the runner of a business, a make of dinners, and a …
