I am far more knowledgeable about Schulz&#8217;s work than I am about the history of the man himself; most of what I know of the man comes simply from reading earlier biographies. While I know enough to catch errors in other biographies like apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/?m=200203\">melding Schulz&#8217;s two wives (sequential!) into one<\/a>, far more subtle details would easily elude me. However, the book did well in the category of facts with which I&#8217;m familiar.<br \/>\nPerhaps more significantly, I cannot attest to the accuracy of the emotional portrait of Schulz the book paints. I never met the man, only saw him in the flesh once.
