The ultimate Charlie Brown Christmas gift

AAUGH Blog reader Mark points us to this unique Charlie Brown Christmas item that’s on eBay, in a sale ending in just a few hours: an (apparently) actual script for A Charlie Brown Christmas that was used for rewrites, paste-ups, and the like. At $2500 Buy It Now, this is not something that would likely end up in the AAUGH.com Reference Library even if we weren’t about to incur signficant relocation expenses. Of course, if someone wanted to buy it and donate it to the AAUGH.com Reference library, I’m sure we’d appreciate it… but I bet the Schulz Museum would appreciate the donation even more.

And that leads me to my next topic: yes, the AAUGH.com Reference Library is relocating. Now, since the library is not generaly open to the public, this would not seem to have much impact on anyone but me. However, it does mean that for about a month, the books will all be in boxes, so those of you who like sending me quick questions are apt not to get the usual quick answers until the library is relocated and reorganized. But by this time ext month, we should be ou of our Southern California location… and into another Southern California location, about 10 miles away!
