Topic: Has the Don Rosa Library Volume 1 been cancelled or just delayed?

(24 messages)

I just filled out my monthly comic book order form and the Don Rosa Library Volume 1 is not listed on it. It still is listed on Amazon as early January 2009. However it should have been listed on my order form along with US 386 and WDC&S 701. I very much hope it has only been delayed. If it has been cancelled, I and many other people will be crushed! :(
David, if you can, would would let us know the status of this book? Thanks!

I have already pre-ordered this one on Amazon, I really hope it doesn't get cancelled! I would be devastated!

Does anyone know the content of the book? How many books will follow?
I heard that the book(s) was already published in Scandinavia.

Well, yes, sort of. The book was published four years ago, but around here it's the first volume of the "Hall of Fame" series (also published in Germany and Poland) and not as an independent "Don Rosa Library".

The Hall of Fame series depicts a lot of different Disney artists and is up to about vol. 25 I think...

This information is of course just based on what's on Amazon about the contents. It may be incorrect, but if Amazon do know what they talk about (for a change) this is roughly what the contents will be as I understand it:

There was of course two volumes of a "Don Rosa library" published in English in Norway some years ago, but they didn't contain any Disney comics at all.

It hasn't been cancelled?just delayed. Obtaining some of the stories with their original Gladstone I lettering has proven harder than we thought. But the book is still on the schedule, likely for the summer rather than January.

Thanks, David! :)
Can you also give an update on the Barks Collection?

Great news David! Glad you folks are taking the time to make it the best it can be. All the efforts of everyone at Gemstone certainly don't go unnoticed.

Hi, I'm writing from Italy
I was waiting for the DRL, and I was so sad to hear about the delay...
...is possible to have some news, about the next date of pubblication, or something similar?
Thank you

[Sorry for the bad english :S]

I can't wait for this title.
I was too young to be a first-hand collector of Gladstone's old stuff and now that I'm older, and getting back into Disney comics, this is the closest I may come to this kind of stuff here in The States.

By the way, David, how does Gemstone plan to deal with "The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck"?

a/ Reprint them in the Rosa Archives in chronological order
b/ Reprint them all together (the original twelve and the additional stories) in a hardcover book
c/ Both (a) & (b)

I'm *so* glad to hear this one is still on the schedule! I'm a huge Rosa fan and can't wait to have this one in my collection. It's been pre-ordered since I first found it on Amazon months ago :)
Kudos to Gemstone for making this move. I'm so jealous of our European cousins and all the cool duck stories they've gotten to see. Here in the USA the ducks don't get their due. Thanks Gemstone!
P.S. I'd like to echo the question about the Barks Collection--any updates? Can't wait for that one as well :)
P.P.S. I second the motion for the hardcover "Life & Times" collection--I'd buy that in a heartbeat! :D

On Amazon they have delayed the release of DRL to December 2009

Is it true, David? :( :( :( :(
Why?

Where exactly did you get this information? Maybe you get different info from Amazon-Italy. I had pre-ordered this a long time ago and the latest update that I got via email last week from Amazon is: "Estimated arrival date: 01/20/2009 - 01/26/2009" and on the product website it lists no date of release, only: "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."

Just for the record:
Amazon's dates and times are garbage!
