This book does not include "most or all oil-paintings" by Barks. It
contains ONLY the Disney paintings and ONLY those made in the 1970's.
Within these limits, however, it is nearly complete. I don't remember
how many copies were printed, but it was a limited edition all right.

There have been plans for some years now to publish an extended edition
of this book, but the problems with this still remain usolved, AFAIK.
