Because I published that book, and we never sold any copies to B&amp;N, nor any other book source. It was available to\/through some of them, but all the ones we actually sold were sold by me at Beaglefest and other conventions, and really, there were only a couple dozen of copies made. So if any of you have seen non-used copies for sale elsewhere, I&#8217;d be very interested in knowing; please email me at questions-at-aaugh.com. (And if anyone&#8217;s wondering why I&#8217;d bother to publish a book just to sell a couple dozen copies: when I was publishing\u00a0<em>Schulz&#8217;s Youth<\/em>, the collection of cartoons Schulz had done for the Church Of God, I also licensed the rights to sublicense collections of the cartoon. My hope was to find a publisher that was already involved in the Christian specialty market who might want a series of smaller books, more in the\u00a0<em>Happiness is a Warm Puppy<\/em> format, breaking the strips into themed groupings. I created two sample books: a square version of this gaudily-colored book, and the black-and-white\u00a0<em>God&#8217;s Children<\/em>, which focused on younger kids. When I wasn&#8217;t able to find a publisher for them, I figured I&#8217;d take the work that I&#8217;d done and make them available via print-on-demand, just so it didn&#8217;t go to waste. I had to change the size of the books in order to match the print-on-demand system I&#8217;d be using, making\u00a0<em>God&#8217;s Children<\/em>\u00a0a larger square book, and making this one non-square.\u00a0The cover worked better as a square, but I&#8217;m still kinda proud of the design.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone let me know that they had found a copy of\u00a0The Zipper on My Bible is Stuck at a Barnes &amp; Noble&#8230; which is very odd.
