Where to get music and box set boxes

A few months ago, I posted about a then-upcoming new Vince Guaraldi-focused George Winston CD. Now, alert AAUGH Blog reader Doug points out that it is now available for preorder and will ship February 2.

And on the topic of things that come in the email, besides information on the problems of getting large sums of currency out of Nigeria and entreaties from young women who either do not know or do not care that I have a wife, I got asked about the slipcases for the Complete Peanuts boxed sets. After all, if you got into the boxed set thing after you’d already been buying Complete Peanuts for a while, then your first few books are unboxed, practically naked!

The good news is that you can buy the empty slipcases for just under $5 a pop directly from the publisher.

If you’ve got useful information, vital questions, or just don’t care that I have a wife, you can email me at questions@AAUGH.com
