STILL TIME FOR GIFTS<\/p>\n
As Christmas approaches, I’d like to point out that there
\nis still time to order gifts for delivery in time for the
\nholiday. So head on over to http:\/\/AAUGH.com and click
\non the items you want. The item description page will
\ntell you if that item can reach U.S. addresses by December
\n24th. (Head over now, though — time is running out!)

\nTAKE A LOOK AT JAPANESE BOOKS<\/p>\n
I just discovered that Amazon.co.jp has some of their
\nordering instructions available in English. Unfortunately,
\ntheir order form is still built specifically for Japanese
\nnames and addresses. But hey, if you want to take a look
\nat some of the interesting Peanuts books on their site,
\nhere are pictures of some of the more unusual titles I’ve
\nfound. (I wonder what these books contain?)<\/p>\n
\nSNOOPY: AMERICAN SWEETS

\nAAUGH.COM LIBRARY COMPLETES A SET<\/p>\n
Just in time for the holidays, I’ve completed my set of
\nBritish Snoopy Christmas ornament books. These books are
\nabout 3 inches wide and four inches high, with 16 pages
\nof story printed on heavy cardboard, like a child’s board
\nbook. Each book has a loop on the top of the spine, so you
\ncan hang it as an ornament (although they are fairly bulky
\nfor ornaments, so it comes as little surprise that one
\nof my books has parted from its loops.)<\/p>\n
Each book has a story written by Gordon Volke, who is the
\nmain Peanuts story author in the UK. The art on these
\nis Schulz characters reworked and rearranged by LoBianco
\nStudios, presumably the same LoBiancos who have been
\nworking on U.S. Peanuts kiddie books lately.<\/p>\n
There are four books in the set, all released in 1991:<\/p>\n
\n1. No Home For Christmas (story: there’s no good place
\nto put Woodstock’s nest)
\n
\n2. Desert Christmas (even with Snoopy visiting, Spike
\nhas trouble feeling Christmassy)
\n
\n3. Pantomime Puppets (Charlie Brown gets puppets for
\nChristmas, and everyone helps Snoopy put on a show
\nusing them. They actually use the psychiatrist booth
\nas the stage!)
\n
\n4. Saves The Day (the sun melts the snow, causing
\na flooding problem. Can Snoopy save the day? Well,
\nhe’d better, or the book will have been mistitled!)<\/p>\n
As with most Peanuts storybooks not based on strips,
\nthe joy of the strip doesn’t really come through. But
\nthey are interesting decorations, and how often do
\npeople actually stop and read your Christmas tree?
\n
\n=================================================================
\n
\nWell, that’s the last newsletter before Christmas, possibly
\nthe last of 2002. May you all be happy and 2003 be filled
\nwith peace, joy, and lots of Peanuts books!<\/p>\n
