I’ll have lots of books – plenty of copies of The Peanuts Collection (if you don’t have that), some It’s Only a Game, Schulz’s Youth, and a whole four copies of Bridge Mix (and that’s the one I cannot restock for Sunday if I sell out on Saturday).

(And I’ll have plenty of non-Schulz stuff as well… but this is the AAUGH Blog, I know what you want.)
