It's in German and, typically for the overpriced Hall of Fame series, the choice of material is rather random:

The War Orphans
An Education for Thursday
The Picnic
The Case of the Vanishing Coats
Love Trouble
The Seven Ghosts
Mickey Mouse Music
Gyro Gearloose
Thank you, sirredknee. I knew I'd get a quick and useful answer. While I'd like to see the Thursday story, I can't read German (as mentioned above) so I'll have to give the collection a miss.

The Thursday story, is censored in this edition anyway. By the way the HOF-series also includes a chronologial reprint of Don Rosa's stories. 5 books have been published so far.

The German Hall of Fame series also has a book (first of 2) by Jan Gulbransson, in which I am the featured writer. Spaking of German Disney artists, unfortunately, Volker Reiche didn't draw enough Disney stories to make a book. And, neither has Ulrich Schroeder, due to his slow, perfectionist working methods. The latter is a great shame, as based on Ulrich's finishing Barks' sketches on 4 panels from "King Scrooge The First", he would be my favourite artist after Barks (if he drew enough).

At the risk of showing my ignorance, PLEASE tell me they're printed here in the U.S.! :)

No, neither The German, nor The Scandinavian series of "Hall of Fame" books have been printed, or scheduled for printing in USA. If that is to happen, I assume that it will have to be Gemstone that decides to do so.

It looks like the Danish Rosa HOF books have all-new covers. I didn't realise that.
(It's not easy to keep an up-to-date Rosa cover/illustration collection... :) )

Hello Henry. Do you mean that Don Rosa has drawn new drawings especially for each of the covers of his Scandinavian Hall of Fame Books? (I assume that his Norwegian and Swedish books have the same covers as the Danish).

Sad. :( Hopefully in time they'll do that.

Gemstone is coming out with a "Don Rosa Library" here in the states, LadyQuackly. That will probably be very much like the "Hall of Fame" books, if and when it finally is complete. Here is the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1603600647
