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:

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.
