Description: By Carl Barks, edited by Barbara Boatner. Contains "virtually all" Barks' oils and water-colors of non-Disney ducks, along with Barks' biography from 1901 to the (then) present. Also featured is a small section devoted to the art of Carl's late wife and co-writer, Garé. Accompanied by a signed photo print of non-Disney painting "Gold Rush, Gold Diggers".
Questions: Do you have information on the exact contents?
Description: This is not an official publication. Contains all Barks' non-Disney stories (except the three script-only ones). The quality of the print varies throughout the book, since the stories are greyscale reproductions of the original comics. This is the completest collection of Barks' non-Disney stories ever released.
Description: Text by Geoffrey Blum. Contains an introduction by Carl Barks, with two sketches: Donald front view and Gladstone rear view; two chapters (1."The Artist", 2."The Studio") on how a series of porcelain figurines were made of some of Barks' paintings; and a 1991, December 10-11 interview with Carl Barks by Geoffrey Blum.
The book contains full-colour photo's; paintings; and sketches by Barks, made for the figurines.
Description: 30 Volumes in Ten Matched Sets. This ten set collection containing 30 books is seen as the ultimate collection of (reprinted) Barks comic book work. Besides lots of articles with background information, it also contains unpublished, rejected and unfinished art. Most of Barks' comic book work is printed as line-art (b/w), which is how it was drawn. However, some of the stories were changed.
Publications: In order of publication.
Description: Album series, containing colour reprints of the Carl Barks Library. Divided in subseries "Walt Disney Comics"; "Donald Duck Adventures"; "Uncle Scrooge Adventures"; "Uncle Scrooge Gags"; "Christmas Stories"; and "Gyro Gearloose". This series has no intention to reprint all Barks stories.
Some albums contain articles and unreleased, rejected and / or unfinished material which is not printed in the Carl Barks Library. (A list of ISBN-numbers, articles and unique drawings will be added in the future.)

Description:
Stamp brochure produced with assistance of Carl Barks Studio and Uncle Scrooge
Collectors International, reprinting "Christmas on Bear Mountain"
(OS 178-02) as stamps. There are two story pages on one stamp sheet. Only
the top and bottom panels are perforated, so not every panel of the story is a
stamp. The stamps are $ 35 (Guyana dollars).
Description: Facsimile edition of 1932 magazine "Coocoo".
Text from a Bruce Hamilton Company advertisment: "Carl Barks worked for The
Calgary Eye-Opener, an adult humor magazine, years before he joined the Disney
Studio. But a he also collaborated, in 1932, with Eye-Opener editor Ed Sumner to
produce Coo-Coo, a less-risqué one-shot designed to test the newsstand potential
for such a magazine.
Coo-Coo shows much of the burgeoning genius of Carl Barks, who created about
one-third of the gags, done mostly in line and wash artwork. There never was a
second issue, and the first must have been distributed in an extremely small
quantity, as there is only one copy known to exist today."
Description: Contains colour pictures of all 122 Barks Disney oil paintings produced to that date; essays by E. Boatner and Bruce Hamilton; and the first American publication of Carl Barks rejected "silent night" 1945 ten-pager. The book was published in a very limited edition of 1,875 signed and numbered copies, some of them in a blue binder and some in maroon. It was produced using high grade glossy paper stitched in a heavy top-of-the-line binding and came in a sturdy slipcase. The overall product won a prestigious industry award for its binding. This book which sold for $150 per copy upon publication will now set you back something like $2,000--if you are lucky enough to find a willing seller.
Despite the demand, a popular edition of this book has never been released.
Contents:
Description: Leatherbound hardcover, limited to 5000 numbered copies. Contains lithograph of CB OIL 123 Wanderers of Wonderlands.

the text below the drawing says: "A new book about me! I'm dying to
see what it says!"
In the same year, a promotional Celestial Arts poster using the book's cover
was printed in Singapore. Measures approximately one foot wide by two feet
tall.
Art editor: Christy Marx.
The comic book stories are coloured by Peter Ledger.

Contents:
Description: Contains 40 of the 75 colour drawings Barks made for his 96th birthday celebration. The drawings (approx. 6 x 7 1/2 inch) are mounted on individual pages as tipped-in color plates. The effect is one of moving through an art gallery, viewing pieces of art "hanging on the walls". The drawings can be removed and framed, or stored in some other way. The artistic themes are a combination of the new and the familiar, with an entertaining mix of color and sight gags.
The art book has a gold dust jacket, and is stored in a black fabric hard case stamped in gold to create the illusion of a safe, developing the "treasury" theme. The storage case is filled with shredded City of Duckburg currency, in "100 Quacker" denominations (with an image of Barks in the center). Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity signed by Carl Barks.
Description: Contains a collection of drawings made for the "Calgary Eye-Opener" issues from 1928 to 1935, reprinted in colour; foreword by Art Spiegelman; and a preface by Geoffrey Blum.
Drawings not included in this book were released as a loose-leaf portfolio of 100 pages in black and white (size 8,5 x7 11 inch). Each page is guaranteed to include one or more drawings not included in "The Unexpurgated Carl Barks". This portfolio can only be bought in accompaniment with "The Unexpurgated Carl Barks" and the "Coocoo" fascimile reprint.
Description: This box contains a facsimile of the 1941 book; a newly recorded CD with Barks and Donald Duck in a special anniversary fireside chat; a complete script of the recording; a mail-in offer entitling purchaser to a free cassette of the program; and a surprise greeting card by Carl Barks.
Apparently, there also was an independent release of the Compact Disc, titled "Carl Barks And Donald Duck In A Fireside Chat".
