Another discount book
Hot on the heels of finding a discount printing of a Peanuts strip collection at Five Below, I discover another volume there. A-Maze-ing Peanuts was among their five-dollar books, and it’s original version (which has a different cover) is a $12.99 list price book. I’ve no idea if this is …
The one and only 75th anniversary book
Past Peanuts anniversaries have sometimes had several books waving the sign that this is an anniversary book, but this year, at least one book is proclaiming that it is the one and only Peanuts 75th Anniversary book. The Essential Peanuts: The Greatest Comic Strip of All Time will be a slipcased …
Easter in Peanutsville
Today in “I’ll bet that’s not licensed”, it’s…. Snoop Dogg’s Easter in Peanutsville (inspired, we are told, by the fact that Easter falls on 4/20 this year.)
AI-yi-yiography
The two editions of The Story of Charles M. Schulz: An Inspiring Story for Kids have different covers. The edition that is solely in English shows Schulz as an old man; the one that is in both English and Farsi shows Schulz as a youth. But the vital fact is: neither looks …
This one left me bobbling my head.
The bobblehead people are after me to promote again… and I’ve told them I’ll only show their product when I have something relevant to say about it. So they sent me their latest request, and I have something to say about it. AAUGH! As part of their line celebrating Peanuts …
Every Sunday comes around again
Shipping this September (or so they say) is the first volume of the paperback rerelease of Peanuts Every Sunday, the series which reprints the Sunday strips for the entire run of the strip, in color. The solicitation doesn’t appear to have the dimensions on it, so I don’t know if …
Fantagraphics sale
Sorry to find this too late… this is a deal that ends Sunday at 11:59 PM Pacific, and I found out about it with less than 13 hours left to go. If you’re getting this by email, it’s likely too late. Anyway, for each whole $50 you spend on a …
Donation
The AAUGH Blog just donated some items from the AAUGH.com Reference Library to the Schulz Museum and Research center. It was always are hope that certain things end up there, but we planned to donate them later in life, or perhaps just leave them in a will, if I ever …
Big World, Big Savings
I stopped by Five Below the other day. It’s a youth-targeted store chain where most of the items are $5. I was surprised to find a big pile of It’s a Big World, Charlie Brown on their books table. It’s a full-color collection of strips from 1997 (about when the Rerun …
Review: Snoopy Gets a Name
In the past, I’ve reviewed a couple of pre-Peanuts books about dogs named Snoopy… but my latest find is just a bit different. It’s about a white kitty, and her name is Snoopy. And that’s a fact you might quickly glean from the tile: Snoopy gets a name. Which, let’s face it, …
