<\/p>\nSo the other day, we had a “French book day” here at the AAUGH.com skyscraper, with two separate shipments of French books arriving, each representing some triumph.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Back in 1968, Hallmark issued a cool little quartet of strip collections called The Peanuts Philosophers<\/em> (soon to be reprinted<\/a>, as it happens), and matched it with Spanish, Latin, and French sets for the US market, all translated by the famed (well, famed for a linguist) Mario Pei. For some reason, the French books have been particularly elusive to me, so I was happy to score not only the complete set, but the boxed set version.<\/p>\n The other shipment was my copies of Les Jeunes Selon Schulz<\/strong>,<\/em><\/a> the French edition of Schulz’s Youth<\/em><\/a>, the book I published presenting Schulz’s single-panel cartoons for the Christian press. This is the first foreign language edition to arrive, although copies of the Italian edition should now be headed my way, and I expect the Spanish edition to be out later in the year. The French publisher, Vertige Graphic, produced a good, solid hardcover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So the other day, we had a “French book day” here at the AAUGH.com skyscraper, with two separate shipments of French books arriving, each representing some triumph.
