Nat interviews – and welcome Mr. Media fans

For those of you coming here from hearing about The AAUGH Blog on the Mr. Media podcast – welcome, and I hope you enjoy! There’s ordering information on The Peanuts Collection at the bottom of the page, and please take the time to browse through the blog entries and see my ruminations on Peanuts books past and present. I also hope you’ll browse the AAUGH.com site – behind our catalog of Peanuts books available for sale hides a collector’s guide to Peanuts books, my ever-growing obsessive guide to book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas, and more.

The book is slated to hit bookstores on October 25th. For those who like to order from your favorite online sites, here are the links to do so now:
