Loretta from Hong Kong just wrote in to steer me toward a set of books I’d not seen before, Colour Snoopy on Sunday<\/strong>, ten volumes each reprinting over 100 Sunday strips (1970s-1990s) in color. These are done for the Chinese market, but they leave the English text intact, printing the translation below the strip.<\/p>\n

\"Colour<\/div>\n

Of course, the problem is getting them. The Chinese equivalent of Amazon — Joyo.com — does have them here<\/a>. However, you gotta navigate a site in Chinese (I think I once figured out how to place an order for the Chinese Complete Peanuts set<\/a>, but shied when I saw the shipping cost — and when I went back, the set was no longer available.)<\/p>\n

10 books in the set:<\/p>\n

    And hey, as long as I’m posting – some of those deeply discounted books I’ve mentioned in the last couple posts are no longer so deeply discounted (Amazon has blown through a lot of copies of these from people I’ve been pointing out the links to). However, some are still available, and here’s one cool one I hadn’t mentioned before: The<\/strong> Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker<\/strong><\/a> , a big coffee table book with a ton of cartoons and a complete (up until a couple years back) set of all the cartoons from that great mag on CD-ROM. It’s so in line with my tastes that actually two<\/em> people close to me have bought me copies as gifts. This is a $60 book, but at the moment, you can get it for $12<\/a>. I’m not sure how long this bargain will last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
