The Not-As-Many Faces of Snoopy

In 2006, Ballantine Books put out The Many Faces of Snoopy, a 350 page paperback strip collection focused on Snoopy’s various personalities. It’s still available. So when I saw that Andrews McMeel would next year be putting out a hardcover book of the same name (well, minus the The, in the top listing, although it’s included in the item description.) I just reckoned it was going to be the same book. Paperback first/hardcover later may not be the standard path, but its far from unique.

Then I noticed that the new book is much smaller, just 80 pages, each of them smaller. Looks more like gift book dimensions. And then in the description, it says the book covers a mere eight of Snoopy’s buises. I guess dropping the The would be a good idea; certainly, eight faces is many faces for a dog, but it’s far from all for this particular dog.
