re Pertwillaby Papers & Captain Kentucky hc books

[Nils Lid Hjort]

I'm skimming through the last weeks of DCML digests,
and discover 

<<As for the Norwegian "Pertwillaby" book, I really
would like to own a copy, but, again, I really can't
afford to spend $298.00 for it. I cringed when I heard
someone on the, since having the book, threw out his
old photocopies. I would've gladly paid for them.>> 

in F.A. Elliott's (otherwise) enlightening message. 
Yes, $298 per book is a sum worthy of a good amount 
of cringing on anyone's salary. However, the price 
per book is Norwegian Kroner 298, or about USD 30.

Apparently, there will be a story on the publication
of these "world editions" in the internet magazine
"Suite 101", where their comics editor is in touch
with me (qua editor of the two books & host for Don R
during the launch week in Oslo some two months ago). 
I'll give more information about this later. 

There will also be a story about the publication
of these books in the Norwegian comics journal/forum
"Tegn", which has gone netty (and is ceasing to exist
in cellulose form, right?): www.tegn.no . I understand 
there will be an interview with Christopher Hjort at the 
Gazette firm about the process leading to the publication 
of the two world-wide Don Rosa books in the city of Oslo, 
Norway. Christopher Hjort is otherwise very slightly 
world famous in the appropriate fan segments thanks to
