I just got a a shipment of a couple books from the Schulz Museum bookstore, who has things which are available nowhere else. First up is Woodstock: Small is Beautiful, a 32 page spiral-bound horizontally-oriented full color cardstock book. This was designed to sell during the Summer of Woodstock celebration …

I’ll admit that I haven’t had time to actually read The Many Faces of Snoopy, because I’ve been spending a lot of time reading the 24 hour comics made during 24 Hour Comics Day, as well as handling some of the preperations for Schulz’s Youth. And this is a thick …

The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library is King’s Treasury of Dynamic Humor, by King Duncan. This is a book aimed at public speakers – most notably pastors, but in general any public speaker who needs short humorous anecdotes to begin their talks and to introduce a topic. The …

Some of you may remember that when I announced the publication of It’s Only a Game, the collection of Schulz’s non-Peanuts syndicated newspaper cartoon from the late ’50’s, I stated that none of these cartoons had ever been in a book before. Well, it’s a good thing I said “book”, …

Just a quick note of something that I forgot to put at the end of the review of Don’t Give Up, Charlie Brown!, and that’s that this book should not be confused with the Fawcett Crest or Coronet books of the title Don’t Give Up, Charlie Brown. Those are reprints …
