Jyri asked: 
<<I thought some listmembers from Oslo could give some hints 
  of what's the best place to buy the CK and PP books.>>

and Mike Pohjola (related to the many musicians, Mike?) answered: 
<<I'm not from Oslo, but I know the answer: Tronsmo - sometimes called the
  most radical book shop in Norway. I think they're also the publishers of
  the Don Rosa books. >>

Yes and no: 
Tronsmo is indeed the best place to find & buy the Don Rosa books: 
http://www.gazette.no/donrosa/index.htm 
As Mike mentioned,  
<<It's got a whole
  lot of great books on politics, music, philosophy, pop culture, history,
  arts etc. (Including the cook book "White Trash Cooking" 1 and 2.) In the
  basement they've got the comic book section >>
But Tronsmo is not the _publisher_ of the books. They're 
"main handlers and Norwegian intergalactic internet station"
of the books, but they are being _published_ by Gazette Bok,
Oslo [check http://www.gazette.no/ ]. And main editor for the 
books, in close cooperation with Don R, has been a certain
University of Oslo professor whose name was also mentioned some digests 
ago in connection with the "Barks Index" published by the mysterious 
"Barks-Friends" in Oslo in 1984.

It is likely that the two books will be found & sold also at 
the Goeteborg (Goethenburg, Sweden) Book Fair September 14-16th,
with Don present.
