those expensive editions
It looks like Easton Press, who puts out the fancy’n’expensive editions of various Peanuts books, have finally gotten their online act together. Now, if you’re in the mood to spend hundreds of dollars, you can search their website for all the leatherbound Peanuts books they currently offer. As a side …
Peanuts books a-shippin’!
Now shipping are Woodstock: A Bird’s Eye View, a strip collection about Snoopy’s little flying friend, and Peanuts Guide To Life, a hardcover strip collection focused on aphorisms and advice. Now, the Woodstock book was actually due to be shipping now, but the release date for the Guide book was …
Kids repeat themselves
Looks like we’re going to get yet another rerelease of Kids Say the Darndest Thing, Art Linkletter’s 1957 book of anecdote’s from his House Party series, with illustrations by Schulz.
British recycling
The folks at Ravette are planning more recycled volumes for later this year. August brings two more of the Snoopy 2-in-1 collections, which each reprint two of the Snoopy Stars/Snoopy Features volumes. However, I don’t yet know which titles these two reprint. They’re also offering up a UK edition of …
Joe Cool covers silence
Here’s a first look at the cover of It Goes Without Saying, October’s collection of silent Peanuts strips. I find it amusing that the main image for a book focusing on the lack of words shows a character with words on his shirt. But then, I think it’s odd that …
Puttering around

Twelve Percent Complete Peanuts
I just got my hands on a copy of the third volume of The Complete Peanuts, covering the strips from 1955-1956. More than half of this material has never been in any US reprint book, so there are a lot of goodies here even for the intense Peanuts book fan. …
It’s a Golf Book, Charlie Brown
It’s Par for the Course, Charlie Brown, a hardcover collection of golf-themed Peanuts strips, is now shipping. And while I have you, I might as well point out that I’ve been improving the look of AAUGH.com a bit. The ugly menus on the left of each page are now less …
Snoopy and Charlie Brown and Charlie Brown and Snoopy
we now have an upcoming Peanuts board book for kids called Snoopy & Charlie Brown. The existing cover image seems to be a reworking of an earlier board book, Charlie Brown & Snoopy. Is this just a smaller edition of that larger board book? Or is this a completely different board book, despite the titles? After all, Charlie Brown & Snoopy was a totally different book from Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
Outtasight Peanuts book
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com library is another Peanuts book in Braille, the system of raised-dot printing for the blind. This is an edition of Here’s Snoopy, a 1988 storybook for kids. Unlike the American Brotherhood for the Blind editions, this doesn’t include raised pictures… or even unraised pictures. …
