The Charlie Brown Christmas that got away!

AAUGH Blog reader Mary joyfully showed me the book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas that she had just gotten… and it’s one that I don’t have yet! Even worse, it’s one I’m not sure that I’ll be able to get!

JulMedCurrentJul med Knøttene comes to us from Norway. Well, it came to Mary from Norway. For folks it Norway, I’d guess it comes from China, where both the earlier English and Japanese editions of this pop-up adaptation were printed. It doesn’t come to me from Norway, because, while I can find online Norwegian bookstores that carry this, they don’t ship to the US! Their forms are specifically designed for in-Norway addresses only. What kind of a world is this we live in where a man can be deprived of a copy of an A Charlie Brown Christmas pop-up book sheerly over the fiction of national borders?

Sorry. That’s the caffeine talking. I had some tea yesterday.

Apparently, the solicitation version of the cover.

Italian surprise

I was going to do a brief write-up on Beaglefest, including mentioning the few things I got to add to the AAUGH.com Reference Library… really, just five items, three of which were books in Italian, which were picked up at the Snoopy Gift Shop. Now, normally I wouldn’t pick up …
