This is an edition of <i>Here&#8217;s Snoopy<\/i>, a 1988 storybook for kids. Unlike the <a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/guide\/oddbook4.htm\">American Brotherhood for the Blind editions<\/a>, this doesn&#8217;t include raised pictures&#8230; or even unraised pictures. Each spread of the book has the text and a description of a picture in Braille on the right hand side, and the exact same text and description in standard printed characters on the left. This makes for quite an oddity &#8211; a Peanuts book with no pictures at all!<\/p>\n<p>(That&#8217;s not the only oddity; it&#8217;s also probably the only official Peanuts book where Schulz&#8217;s name is misspelled as &#8220;Schultz&#8221; on the title page&#8230; and yes, the misspelling is there in the Braille as well as in the standard printed text.)<\/p>\n<p>And also unlike the American Brotherhood for the Blind editions, which were only meant for libraries, you can actually purchase this Braille book. Go to http:\/\/www.braillebookstore.com\/Books-for-Preschoolers2.htm and go down the booklist in alphabetic order until you find <i>Here&#8217;s Snoopy<\/i>. From the drop-list there,  you can select any of four editions: one with printed text and &#8220;grade 2&#8221; Braille (which means Braille with some abbreviations built in), which is what I have; one with printed text and &#8220;grade 1&#8221; Braille (no abbreviations); and editions with either grade 2 or grade 1 Braille with no printed text. The printed-and-braille editions are $13.95, the Braille-only ones are $7.95. And a cool part of the bargain: if you order one of these in the US or Canada, there are no shipping charges, because the postal systems are required to ship Braille books for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest addition to the AAUGH.com library is another Peanuts book in Braille, the system of raised-dot printing for the blind.
