What am I going to do with two Women’s Worlds?

I don’t yet have every Peanuts book, not even within the parameters of US non-coloring books. I know I have some holes in the Hallmark collection; they put out a lot of little hardcovers meant to be used as greeting cards and small gifts during the 1970s, and I suspect there’s some that I haven’t even detected the existence of yet. Which is why it was easy for me to slip up, check the wrong list in my records, and place a bid in this eBay auction for a copy of the Hallmark minibook A Woman’s World, a book that I already have a copy of. Am I telling you this because I want to be an educational object lesson, showing you what harm you can do to yourself if you don’t pay attention? No, no, that would be too helpful! I’m doing this for totally selfish reasons; I’m hoping someone out in AAUGH Blogreaderland wants a copy of this book badly enough that they’ll outbid my ill-considered $10.10 bid for it! C’mon, you know you want it!
