Things leak inito the AAUGH.com reference library
I’ve added three more items to the AAUGH.com reference library recently. My copy of the catalog of the Schulz Museum’s Peanuts: Found in Translation book arrived, and it is indeed a lovely collection of Yoshi’s interesting artistic interprations, mixing Peanuts characters and Japanese writing in creative way. Each plate is …
The -other- Complete Peanuts
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference lbrary is Il grande libro dei Peanuts. Can’t wait for the Complete Peanuts? This big, thick book with every single daily (i.e., not Sunday) Peanuts strip from the 1960s. Which would be absolutely great if the strips weren’t in Italian. I mean, I’m …
Libraries have Peanuts books!
According to the Online Computer Library Center’s list of the most-held books by member libraries, Peanuts comes in at #70. It looks like they’re lumping all Peanuts books together (and misspelling “Schulz”, sigh), but it’s still an impressive place to be.

Peanuts thoughts in The New Yorker
Novelist Jonathan Franzen (best known for The Corrections) has a piece in the November 29th New Yorker reflecting on the presence of Peanuts in his life. You can read it online (although I have had trouble with some browsers.) Thanks to Mark Evanier for pointing this out.
It’s Only Tomorrow
Well, it’s finally time for me to tell you what that other exciting shipment was that I alluded to earlier. What I got was the first copies off the presses of It’s Only A Game, the book collecting Charles Schulz’s other syndicated comic. As I posted earlier this year, this …
Peanuts in Translation in Collection
The Charles M. Schulz Museum is currently running an exhibit of Yoshiteru Otani’s Peanuts-themed ink drawings, called Found In Translation. They’re also putting out a catalog for this exhibition, which will not be available through AAUGH.com but can now be ordered through the Charles M. Schulz Museum Store; the section …
Peanuts books make my mailbox happy
Today was a good day, bringing in two shipments of Peanuts books. The main shipment had a few recent books. I got the boxed Oh Friend Of Friends set, so I can confirm that the included booklet is a smaller abridgement of the already small-and-short hardback giftbook of Oh Friend …
