This may sound nitpicky, but the publisher of the hardbound black-and- 
white CBL was Another Rainbow, the same company that produced The  
Fine Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck by Carl Barks. A follow-up  
series, The Carl Barks Library in Color, was produced by Gladstone -  
these were softbound albums, and they were in color. (It should be  
noted that this second series published most, but not quite all, of  
Bark's Disney duck stories.)

Both Another Rainbow and Gladstone were companies co-founded by Bruce  
Hamilton, and the people who worked on Another Rainbow projects were  
the same ones who worked on Gladstone projects. But each company had  
a different emphasis, a different market arena, and different goals.  
Gladstone would have no more issued the black-and-white CBL than  
Another Rainbow would have published monthly 32-page comics.
