minor newsy bits

  • The upcoming new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas now has a cover. Some day, I’ll really have to do a chart of all the formats and editions that have come out under this title…
  • Speaking of A Charlie Brown Christmas book – the huge discount available on the recent board book version has gotten even huger. At the moment, it’s 64% off the cover price… plus it’s part of the buy-3-get-1 free deal. That means you can get four copies of this $7.95-cover-price book for $8.58.
  • Also available at heavy discount (56% off) and part of the buy-3-get-1 deal is the miniature edition of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, which makes a great Thanksgiving stocking stuffer. I mean, what else are you going to stuff in a Thanksgiving stocking? Besides stuffing, of course…
  • If you do go for one of those buy-3-get-1 deals, realize that the price of the fourth one doesn’t disappear from your total until you’re into the checkout process. It can be worrying
  • As suspected, the collection of the little square pictures-and-adages books under a single cover is now showing up under the title Peanuts: A Treasury of Happiness instead of the cumbersome The Peanuts Classics Treasury: The Complete “Happiness Is” Collection used earlier.
  • I wonder whether the Peanuts Sudoku Digest, that mix of Peanuts strips and puzzles which has been pushed back to an April release, will actually ship with the currently-depicted cover… one which doesn’t include the “M.” as in the usual credit for “Charles M. Schulz”.

I am ashamed to say that I’ve had this year’s Hallmark edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas sitting in my living room waiting to be reviewed for months, amidst my hectic life. It was hoping to do a video review (and I may still). But had I known I was going …

The Word Is That You Need Not Seek Hard For Peanuts Word Seeks

I just noticed a good deal in back issues of Peanuts Word Seeks magazine, for those who may want them for their collection (or just are facing a shortage of words.) The publisher will send you a dozen back issues for $16.95 plus shipping. I expect these will all be …
