My book is dangerous
If Googe Translate is to be believed, this newly-posted review of the Italian edition of my book The Peanuts Collection claims that the book is “full of internal punching”! (They also call it “a stunning volume”, but perhaps they just mean being stunned by the punches.) Apparently, my first name …
The Schulz bowling book is available
A while back I let you know that I was putting together a small book of Schulz cartoons about bowling… and now it’s available! It’s a thin little thing, 52 pages, a few dozen cartoons, and it’s nothing that the Schulz completist needs (all of the cartoons are already in …
The other Other Snoopy
A while back, I posted about a 1955 book featuring a dog named Snoopy, one who is not our Snoopy, and noted that it was not the first such example. Well, now I have my paws on The Story of Snoopy The Nosey Little Puppy by the single-named Harriet. That’s …
One that got away
Normally, an Asian datebook is not something I’d worry about not having in my collection… but I think you’ll see why I reckon that from time to time in the future, I’ll look back and regret not getting this one. It will hurt, but I will try to be srong …
Snoopy meets Dracula
The development of Print On Demand technology has enabled the publication and international distribution of small projects that previously may not have been seen beyond a handful of photocopies. Such is Dracula Remixed, which is simply a project of a high school English class, with students rewriting portions of Bram …
Comics sans appropriate font
The other day, I praised the Easton Press edition of A Peanuts Valentine, noting that the cover of the fancy edition looked better than the standard edition, but that that wasn’t always the case for their books. Today, I noticed this example of the lesser work: While A Peanuts Valentine …
Lest you think I get everything I want
I just got outbid on this: Look at that! It’s a book and record of The Story of Snoopy and the Red Baron… but apparently with a license just for the song, it’s not a Peanuts item, so no dog in the dogfight… even though Snoopy is specifically described in …
The intriguing Schulz book I missed out on
Chatting online with an AAUGH Blog reader a couple weeks back, the talk turned to things we’d gotten at auction, and things we’d missed out on. In the latter category, my biggest regret was something I’ve brought up here before, a booklet called Golfing — It’s Only A Game, which …
And you thought it’d be Oopysnay
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is Insuperabilis Snupius, a tall-but-short (48 pages), full-color reprint of daily strips… in Latin. Published in 1984 by the European Language Institute (an Italian publishing house that puts out mainly educational materials), this hardcover includes one nice touch that I always like …
Oooh a review
Okay, I haven’t reviewed Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking because I’m hardly objective on it. But in the interest of providing you with pure, objective analysis, I should point out that the Christian Science Monitor called it “the perfect gift book for the holidays” and that the “design of the book …
