There are a few catalogs of Peanuts items in the AAUGH.com reference library – mailed catalogs from Peanuts specialty sources, some book format catalogs of Japanese items, all with tempting things to order. I’ve recently added a catalog of items that I could not actually get, at least not through …

The other day, a copy of The Parables of Peanuts, Robert Short’s follow-up to his best-selling The Gospel According to Peanuts, arrived in my mailbox. Now, I already have a copy or two of this in AAUGH.com reference library, but not this edition; this is the leather-covered, gilt-edge version. This …

I wonder what it was like to be working your way through the college textbook Fundamentals of Physics, eight hundred and some pages of very tiny and dry-looking type, when you get to the problem set for chapter 8 (“Conservation of Linear Momentum”) and see there on page 150 the …
