The middlest interesting one is The Peanuts Guide to School Days<\/a><\/strong>, which is an activity book put out by Scholastic as part of their “Peanuts Club with Charlie Brown & Friends” line. I’m not generally worried about acquiring coloring and activity books. This one, however, uses actualy strips on almost every page, sometimes just to illustrate a topic being discussed (this is a much more academic book than the typical connect-the-dots and do-the-mazes books marketed as activity books), and sometimes as a key part of the activity — word balloons will be left blank to be filled in creatively, or a set of strips will be shown each with a blank balloon and the reader has to figure out which text goes in which strip. Other books in this series include …Guide to Sports<\/a><\/strong> and …Guide to the Seasons<\/a><\/strong>. Since these all came out in 2003, it looks as though they never get around to any topics that didn’t start with “S”.<\/p>\n Still, it will be nice to have something to share with my quilt-loving mother (better than a blanket-hating grandma for sure!) the next time she visits!<\/p>\n Meanwhile, things are a little quiet on the Peanuts book front through AAUGH.com<\/a>, both in my efforts on the site and on sales (in fact, the most recent order we got wasn’t for a Peanuts book at all, it was a pre-order for the just-announced final Harry Potter book<\/a>, coming out this summer.) But I’m keeping busy making sure that Schulz’s Youth<\/span><\/a> is as good as I can make it. However, I’m starting to have a thought about how I might best reach my goal of a much richer online guide to Peanuts books with detail on (and a picture of) each book… I might make it a wiki, and allow certain other serious Peanuts book collectors to add information to it when they have the time and inclination. It would be a while before I could get that set up, but at least we wouldn’t have to wait until I could populate it with most of the data before it could be theoretically useful. Just thought I’d let you know what’s up in my mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve made some additions to the AAUGH.com reference library.

But the most interesting of the new additions is a book of pictures of Peanuts quilts and craft items, apparently the catalog of some 2002 Japanese exhibition. There are some very lovely and creative items in here, well-photographed and printed in gloss color, some accompanied by the strips which inspired them. The last 16 of the book’s 104 pages are a black-and-white guide to making some of the items on the earlier pages. I can’t tell you the title of the book, as I don’t read the language… but any of you AAUGH blog readers who are into quilting (and even those who aren’t into it, like me) would like this one. Alas, I can’t tell you where to get it — it was an eBay find for me.<\/p>\n![\"Japanese](\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/images\/quiltsample.jpg\" "\\"Japanese")
