Schulz’s son’s new novel
Some of you may recall that Sparky’s son Monte is a novelist, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen a new novel from him… 18 years now, in fact. I knew something’s been in the works, but it’s finally seeing release — this October brings This Side of Jordan, …
More on that 60th Anniversary book
We’ve got some more details on the Peanuts 60th anniversary book I’ve been posting about lately: That’s what the publisher is calling it at the moment – The Peanuts 60th Anniverary Book. Nothing about “celebrating”, a term which only shows up on the Amazon listing. The size is 9.5″ x …
Not the celebrating!
Within hours after my last post, the “The” has been knocked off the title listed on Amazon for the 60th anniversary book, making it the more reasonable Celebrating Peanuts.
Peanuts 60th anniversary book
Want a big Peanuts book? How does 544 pages sound? Thats the solicited length for The Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years (if that’s really the title – sounds kind of awkward). Coming in October (’round about when Peanuts hits 59 years) this big book also bears a big list price. At …

My goodness, they keep publishing Peanuts books!
I just added two more books to our Upcoming Peanuts book list: Snoopy and Woodstock: Best Friends and Peanuts Philosophers, both due out about a year from now.
Snoopy and Star Trek
With the new Star Trek movie coming out tomorrow, I thought I’d take a look at this particularly surprising Star Trek reference. What makes it so interesting? The date. This is the strip from February 7th, 1972. That means that it was years after the original Star Trek series had …
The Complete Peanuts 1971-1972
So, today I was supposed to be packing up my office, including boxing up the AAUGH.com reference library, preparing for a move. But with life being hectic, I realized I hadn’t actually read the recently released The Complete Peanuts: 1971-1972, so I reckoned that better than spend hours packing, I …
Not-so-new review.
When I reviewed The Doctor is In in my last blog entry, I thought that I was reviewing a new book. But according to the publisher’s website., the book was released on January 20, 1968! (I really should do a screen capture to prove it says that, but I’m feeling …
A box, a book, and a can
A while back, I promised you a review that included a book where one quotation mark was left off of the quote at the end of the book. This is that review! Worry no more. The Doctor is In is a boxed set of one can with a coin slot …
