More on that Japanese Dr. Snoopy book

Friend of the blog Ray gave me a reason that the Japanese edition of Dr. Snoopy’s Advice for Pet Owners I talked about a week back had the odd price of 762 yen: because once a 5% sales tax was tacked on that, it becomes a nice round no-small-change-needed 800 yen.

Charlie Brown answers …
