THE COMPLETE PEANUTS Volume 2, 1953-1954, hasn’t actually been released yet, but one of the advantages of being the AAUGH.com guy is sometimes you lay hands on things a little early. The book is just what it sets out to be, covering all the strips from those two years, some of which you’ve probably seen […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It is in the nature of pop-up books that they only have a few pages. However, I gotta say that the pages are well-used in the Peanuts: A Pop-Up Celebration. Each page has several pop-up and.or motion features, and the engineering seems quite clever. This is certainly not a minimum pop-up book. The big pop-up […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I jus discovered that somehow I let the new book adaptation of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown slip by without announcement. This isn’t the one that’s part of the line of kiddie books. Instead, this is a miniature hardcover, a la last year’s A Charlie Brown Christmas adaptation. Well, it’s kind of late to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yup, I’m still playing catch-up with this year’s halloween-themed Peanuts books. It’s never too late to buy them for next year. The major release is Trick or Treat: A Peanuts Halloween, which includes about 130 halloween and fright-themed comic strips taken from the entire run of the strip, including ones that have never been in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve gotten my copy of Merry Christmas, Sweetie! Woof, Woof, Woof!”, which is a small boxed set that includes a flat cardboard doghouse with Christmas stickers to deorate it with. Also enclosed is a 32 page booklet, 2.75 inches square, with Christmas-themed Peanuts strips reprinted in color, plus Christmas-oriented quotes. The whole box is about […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today was a good day, bringing in two shipments of Peanuts books. The main shipment had a few recent books. I got the boxed Oh Friend Of Friends set, so I can confirm that the included booklet is a smaller abridgement of the already small-and-short hardback giftbook of Oh Friend Of Friends. The booklet version […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference lbrary is Il grande libro dei Peanuts. Can’t wait for the Complete Peanuts? This big, thick book with every single daily (i.e., not Sunday) Peanuts strip from the 1960s. Which would be absolutely great if the strips weren’t in Italian. I mean, I’m looking at Peanuts strips that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve added three more items to the AAUGH.com reference library recently. My copy of the catalog of the Schulz Museum’s Peanuts: Found in Translation book arrived, and it is indeed a lovely collection of Yoshi’s interesting artistic interprations, mixing Peanuts characters and Japanese writing in creative way. Each plate is accompanied by an explanation of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve written before about the odd English titles that are on the Tsuru Comics books, the Japanese equivalent of the Fawcett Crest books. They are odd in word choice, in punctuation, and in capitalization. Well, we’ve just added five more to the AAUGH.com reference library, including “LONESOME” Charlie Brown, Farewell, LUCY, Go! Go! SNOOPY, A […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, 2004 is over, and what a year it was for the Peanuts book fan! Between the first two volumes of The Complete Peanuts, the Schulz Museum’s Li’l Folks collection, and It’s Only A Game, there was a tremendous amount of vital Schulz material hitting your bookshelf for the first time! The new year will […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
