The magazine itself\u00a0 displayed the free gift enclosed, and had a bit more Snoopy imagery as well.

So what is the magazine? It’s what would be traditionally classed as a “Women’s magazine” in America. Most of it is recipes (with some hunger-inducing photographs), some guides to sweets you can buy, a guide for getting a good fit on sweaters, and so forth. There’s a section of comics, but even there, the longest one appears to be a guide to making a certain dish. (Remember, all my interpretation is limited by not knowing the language a lick.)<\/p>\n The bag itself is a nice, fairly large nylon (I think) bag, and was quickly glommed up by my daughter.<\/p>\n If you’re interested in mooks, here are a few currently available through Amazon Japan (ciick the picture to get to the listing — and no, I don’t make a cut off of these.)<\/p>\n Comes with a wooden serving board!<\/p>\n Oooh, a tote! The listing for this upcoming item says it;s a 200 page magazine, but the entire descriptor is about the tote.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
