An unauthorized? biography

Upcoming releases

In the past, I’ve talked about the Charles Schulz biographies that are produced as part of bulk lines of biographies for school libraries, very brief, photo-heavy things meant to give kids something to write book reports about. Well ABDO, a company that has produced just such a biography in the past, has decided to move beyond that and produce a biography of Snoopy. Part of their new Classic Cartoon Character Bios line, it drops in December alongside biographies for Mickey Mouse, Garfield, Winnie the Pooh, Scooby Doo, and Pikachu. With a current price of $34 and change apiece for a 24 page book, these are priced for libraries, not humans. What kind of dolt would spend that sort of money on this? <insert sound of the AAUGH Blogger hitting the “Pre-order Now” button.>
