They took two months to get here, but that&#8217;s fine &#8211; shipping that isn&#8217;t slow isn&#8217;t cheap. These books are 2007-2008 translations of\u00a0<em>Love is Walking Hand in Hand<\/em>. <em>Happiness is a Warm Puppy<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Educating Peanuts<\/em>. If you don&#8217;t recall that last title, don&#8217;t be surprised; it was a British book which took comments about school from the strip, making an image-and-a-line book similar to the other two books shown. The book does included the note that &#8220;in some cases, the captions have been paraphrased from the original wording,&#8221; which I find humorous, as I&#8217;m pretty sure that in no cases was the original wording in Czech.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that will irritate me about these books is that, while the standard in most places is for the text on a book&#8217;s spine to be read from top to bottom, for Czech it is common for the text to start at the bottom and go up. So now every time I see these on my shelves, my brain will spend a second telling me &#8220;those books are upside-down!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5484\" src=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spine-159x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"159\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spine-159x300.jpg 159w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/spine.jpg 229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 159px) 100vw, 159px\" \/><\/a>If you need some Czech in your collection, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kosmas.cz\/autor\/22142\/charles-m.-schulz\/#pos=477\">this<\/a> is where I ordered them from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The books I ordered from the Czech Republic arrived yesterday.
