more Hallmark editions
Stopped by my local Hallmark Gold Crown store today, and saw that they had two more books in their own editions… which (as far as I could quickly tell) really just vary from the standard editions with minor Hallmark markings. They’re the new, revisionist-history edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, …
For those who collect the boxes
Barnes & Noble has an exclusive boxed set of all six of the DVDs released under the new remastered DVD line. This they have for a list price of $99.99, and an online price of $79.99. Thing is, you can order the non-exclusive boxed set with three DVDs (Great Pumpkin, …
It’s Springtime, Snoopy
Just added to the shelves of the AAUGH.com reference library… well, not to the shelves, they’re pretty full, but to one of the piles near the shelves (I really do have to get this all straightened out one day) is It’s Springtime Snoopy, which is really a beginning English language …

The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 will be shipping soon. Should you buy it? Well, yes, of course. If you’re reading the AAUGH Blog, you’re the sort of person who should be buying all these volumes. Why do you even ask me such silly questions? Having just finished reading through it, I …
Finally, a book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas!
I have in my slightly-peanut-buttery-smelling mitts the book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas. No, not that one. No, not those. This years. No, not this year’s snow-block adaptation, this year’s non-snow-block edition. Yeah, this one. And yes, this is a brand new adaptation. Someday (not at least a theoretical …
Peanuts is everywhere
No book news here. I just couldn’t help noting how the Peanuts hits the world in many places, in many ways. Between finding a page of praise of Schulz from the Pakistan Observer (which judging by their trying to pin recent terrorist attacks on the CIA, is not a lover …
the Japanese Snoopy magazine
The mailman must like me, because he’s been bringing me a lot of Peanuts goodies lately. Today, it’s an issue of a Japanese Snoopy magazine from the 1970s. And I feel like going through it right now, so here I go. The cover is a particularly low-resolution of Snoopy looking, …
Got a copy!
The postal carrier just brought me some copies of A Peanuts Halloween, the trick-or-treat minicomic. First, let me note that by minicomic, they don’t mean “pocket-sized”. This is 8.5″ high, 5.5″ wide — what small-press comics folks would call “digest sized”. It’s 16 pages, including covers. The back cover is …
