<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Poul:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>>>>Thank you very much Harry for
submitting the MM Dailies text I did a few years back. There are a couple of
statements</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>>>>that Horst Schroeder later requested
altered (he *did* realize that he bought the MM rights and other minor
stuff).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Does this mean you have a corrected version of this
History? It was very intriguing, and a great research! thanks to you, and to
Harry for sharing!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>>>>It was originally my intention to
forward the text to anyone who could include it in a suitable place (e.g. the
text on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>>>Gottfredson on DCML). Anyone interested
can nick it. Main thing (to me) is that the info is there for whoever is
>>>interested.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd gladly include it on my site, if you
wish.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's something to add-- when Schroder explains
that:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>"The response to MM was very good, esp. in the USA. However, this proved to
be my undoing. An ad in Comics Journal or Buyer's Guide came to Disney Burbank's
attention, and they came down upon me like a ton of bricks."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I was doing my DEA dissertation (that's right
before the PhD) on Barks, I got in touch with Geoffrey Blum (among many great
people), who kindly sent me a bunch of photocopies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He included copies of a Barks interview
conducted by Malcolm Willits and Don & Maggie Thompson (Feb '62), reprinted
in "The Duckburg Times" # 10-11 (March 27, 1981).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Right after the interview, in the "Disneydom"
section (p 20), is are an announcement for the to-be published Uncle
Scrooge book by Celestial Arts, and one for "Panels" #2 (Special Carl Barks
issue)-- and this...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>---------------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Swedish fan Horst Schroder is going to reprint the
complete run of the Mickey Mouse daily comic strips by Floyd Gottfredson
from 1930 o 1955 in 26 volumes, in b/w from (mainly) the original English
proofs, 104 pages per volume (156 for the 1930, 31 books), stapled-wraparound
cover, 8 1/2 * 11 5/8, 3 strips per page (2 per for the 1931 [sic], 31 volumes),
print run limited to number pre-ordered-rounded up to nearest 100 (ie 157
ordered, 200 printed), all copies numbered, published in 2 volume sets (early
and late years) hopefully one set per month, but possible delays due to proof
availability, price depend on print run; of 200-300 $37.50 (1930, 31
$47.50), if 100-200 $47.50 ($54.50 for 1930, 31)-- if less than 100
copies then *no* book, so your order may determine if it si printed,
prices include airmail postage, you order 2 sets at a time (4 volumes),
automatically extended if not cancelled, may quit after 2 sets and later
rejoin-- but little chance of getting prior volumes, first two sets
(1930+1947?) and (1931, 1946?) out May/June 1981, last set (hopefully) Autumn
1982. Dealer rates-multiples of 5 copies, 40% off cover+postage,
terms arrangable. To order first set send by April 15th send no money, but 4
address stickers with you address, one SASE (international coupon or 40 cents
Airmail stamps), state whether want book oblong or upright (turn book sideways
to read)-- must abide by majority decision, if don't want books if
less than 200 orders, if under 18 need parent signature, notified if
too few orders, payment for books upon receipt. Hordst Schroder, [address],
Sweden.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Does anybody know someone who could get in touch with Roy Disney and ask
him to let Gemstone do a complete Gottfredson Library (dailies & Sundays)
(and a Taliaferro Library, while they're at it)?</DIV>
<DIV>It may have just been rumor, but I remember reading, when the first Disney
Treasures DVD were released, that Roy was the one to thank for the shorts being
unedited.</DIV>
