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 …
At least now I have Charlie Brown’s autograph
Review: It’s not that Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown Remembers Atlanta: Memoirs of a Public Man is an as-told-to book by an Atlanta politician. Published in 1982, with both a full-color image and a fold-out page with all the members of the all-white, all-male Georgia Senate of the late 1950s and …
I’m in a flinching mode
Maybe because I’ve done two eight-hour drives in the past three days, but I find myself in a picky mood. And having come back from my travels to find two Peanuts books waiting for me, I may be turning an extra picky eye on them. The first one I looked …
the central business of this blog
I must apologize, dear readers. Here it is, the sixth day of the month, and I’ve yet to do a post about print adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. But come, let me address that now! My guide already had the 1977 book & record set issued by Charlie Brown …
Easter Beagle, and an All-Stars triple play
I just picked up The Easter Beagle Egg Hunt, the new kids book. It’s a light-scale board book with plastic easter egg shapes that peak through the pages, plus one pop-up. The art adaptation is actually quite nice on this one. Six two-page spreads. Not a deeply meaningful or important …
the sweetest Snoopy book
I found this at a 99 Cents Only store today: Of course, despite the “title”, it’s not actually a book at all. Flip open that cover with every licensee’s favorite Peanuts image, and you’ll find six rolls of LifeSavers-like candy. In fact, the whole affair is an imitation of the …
Oh, okay, more on A Charlie Brown Christmas books
Not my fault! People send in questions (to questions@AAUGH.com ), and while I won’t answer them all, and much less answer them publicly, this one I felt called for a public answer. Steve from Michigan was asking, in regard to this book: What I dont understand though is why that …
Nat should be talking about A Charlie Brown Groundhog Day by now…
Yes, yes, I’m writing about book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas again. It’s a mania, I tell ya, a mania! Today, the mail brought a first printing of the original book adaptation. Now, I know what you’re thinking — didn’t I already have a first printing? In fact, lots …
Golf like a dog
I just added two more pieces to my Peanuts publications pile: Welcome to Golf is a 32-page self-covered booklet from 1994 covering the basics of golf for the newcomer, not so much the rules as why to golf, where to golf, and how to avoid getting on the nerves of …
