I assume you refer to *my* mail being less interesting. Then maybe I didn't make my point clear enough.
When people get no replies to what they post here on DCML, this does *not* mean that their posting was not interesting. There have been a lot of mails to which I was tempted to reply "I'd like to know that too" or "Gee, I didn't know that before" etc. But since such e-mails would not add any information, I usually don't send them.
Maybe a lot of other people react the same. This means many interesting e-mails get no reply at all.
But please keep them coming. They *are* appreciated!
--Harry.

I believe that the printrun was much lower on those last sets.
But if everything goes the way it should and if we are to believe
Geppi, these sets will be available again.
Let's hope they start with the later sets so that all of us could
get that empty hole in our bookshelves filled.

I think possibly one of the first sets published of the original CBL
did go back to press, but the main reason that sets V and X are "rare"
is that the print runs of the CBL sets were adjusted to expectations,
which, along with the Gladstone comics, dropped as time went on. The
print runs of V and X were down to just what orders were on hand, and
only a very tiny number over that - which kind of worked against us on
X, because demand for that after initial orders was surprisingly high.
But we didn't go back to press even on X. The license had expired, and
at that time Disney wasn't giving Another Rainbow/Gladstone any kind of
break. (One now long-gone hotshot even went around saying we were out
of business.)

It would be interesting to publish a yearly digest of all the uninteresting non-

Carmen's problem
Message 70 -
2003-02-06 at 02:06:05
Hi all!
Carmen has initiated a very interesting debate.
A debate somewhat similar to one I started last
year. Then I had to ask twice to get Harry's
view about the size of Duckburg's population.
And his view was in deed important to me
- as I later have used it in an article about
the history of Duckburg.
However my interpretation of Carmen's statement
is however a bit different from Harry's. I don't
see her statement as critics against the number
of postings at DCML, but rather critics against
the focus. As I read Carmen's statement the
problem at DCML is *not* the lack of response,
but that such response sometimes has a tendency
to end up in "obscure" or "less interesting
threads". As a good example: lately I have asked
some questions around the Norwegian "En kvart
?rgang" = (A quarter volume) publications without
getting any answer on one of my questions - Why
the enclosures are not included in these books.
In the same time there has been a lot of
interesting and informative answers around
the US Carl Barks Library.
Sigvald :-)

Make that "the Rosa universe." Jos? Carioca and Panchito are not part
of the Barks universe.

Sorry its SO uninteresting for you, Carmen.
There were fewer copies of Vol#5 made than any other volume.
What you are witnessing is supply vs demand. Less supply = more demand = this
particular volume is very pricey.
Good luck on your quest!

Scrooge and drugs

Hi all!
As we all know Scrooge loves nutmeg-tea. Nutmeg
is the kernel of a peach-like fruit Myristica
fragrans. What is less known is that it contains
psychoactive chemicals such as myristicin,
safrole, and elemicin.
Could this be the reason that Scrooge drink
nutmeg-tea? In "Trall-la" Barks shows that
Scrooge at least once needed nerve-mixture.

Well, once Don Rosa told me that the
"Three Calleros Ride Again" story doesn't
contradict Barks. And remember that there
must be presidents in the USA in Barks' universe
even though he never mentions Truman, Eisenhower,
Kennedy or Johnson. Thus also Jos? and Panchito
can live there without never be mentioned.

Sorry, I can't help with Volume V; but, for anyone trying to complete their
hardbound "Carl Barks Library", I have an extra copy of Volume IX. It is
literally, in absolute mint condition - still packed in its Another Rainbow
shipping box with padding. It has never been opened. I will be willing to
provide it to any DCML member who wants it for my original cost (and shipping
cost). I am in no hurry to get rid of it, and can wait until a DCML member
wants it (even if it takes 5 years). If you live anywhere in Holland, Belgium,
Germany, Luxembourg, western Austria, Denmark, southern Sweden, southern Norway
or Northern France, Winnipeg, Manitoba or Los Angeles, California, I will
likely be able to hand deliver it to you. (I might also consider delivering to
the reamainder of Austria, Switzerland, and possibly, even Italy (especially if
I've started to sell stories to Disney Italia, by then).
