Be More Charlie Brown impends

Nat news

I have now received my box of author’s copies of Be More Charlie Brown, which will be officially released next week. This light-hearted self-help book is a follow-up to my earlier (and still available) volume, Be More Snoopy. As I always do with my new Peanuts-related hardcovers, I’m willing to send a signed bookplate (i.e., a sticker you put on the inside front cover and viola, you have a signed book!) to anyone with a US address who requests one. So if you want a bookplate for yourself or are thinking about giving this book as a gift, just drop a line to nat@aaugh.com and let me know what address and if you’d like it inscribed to someone.
