Carl Barks library

[CarmenG@aol.com]

    Well, every time I post a message, it's SO uninteresting that I get few 
if any responses. And I know I've posted this one before, but I'd still be 
interested in the answer. 
    When I bought the Carl Barks library, I was unable to get a copy of 
Volume 5. My comic shop couldn't get one, my bookstore couldn't get one, I 
couldn't get one. So I wondered if there was any reason that there would be a 
shortage of that particular volume. It seemed odd to me that a company would 
publish fewer copies of one volume in a set, but I finally let it go, 
figuring it was just a fluke and I missed out.
    But now I checked the ebay auction mentioned here, and volume five has 
(so far) received over twice as many bids as other volumes for three times as 
much money. So I am obviously not the only person who was unable to find 
volume five.
    Does anyone know why this volume is rare? I hate to think that the 
publisher would print fewer copies (I'm reminded of a certain rare quarter in 
U$....) for any reason. I'd appreciate hearing about it if anyone knows the 
answer.

Still disappointed over not having a complete set,

Carmen
