Sure:
Donald and Mickey #22 $1.50

"This issue contains the 10-page Barks' story, _Omelet_.  Learn why
Donald and the boys have been declared _personna_non_grata_ in a small
mountain town.  Also featured is _The_Great_Winks_Robbery_, the final
installment (for now) in the Mickey and the Sleuth sampler."

I must confess that I'm pleased they're stopping the "Mickey and the
Sleuth" stuff, I was rather dissapointed with it.

Uncle Scrooge Adventures #25  $1.50
(Grammatical errors are Gladstone's:)

"The book-length, 26-page reprint of Barks' Scrooge classic
_The_Money_Well_ is the featured story.  When Scrooge's reluctance to
spend money for a new pair of spectacles leads to the Beagle Boys'
takever of his fantasticatillions.  Cover produced by Gladstone
Studios using Barks' panel art from the story."

Wait a minute.  Do you mean to say that Don did a story about the
origin of the Woodchucks?!?!  WHY CAN'T WE READ THIS STUFF!!!!  I
*really want* to read this story.  And who knows how long it will take
Gladstone to get off their duff and print it.  (If they even will..)
How frustrating.

BTW, David, how do you know what Don Rosa's stories are titled before
we see them here in the states?  Do you find out from over-seas?  Are
they listed in the ftp-able don rosa index?

(PS-like note: "Guardians of the Lost Library" is a very cool title
for a story.)
