Each book is 52 pages, 8.5" x 11", square-bound and printed in full color on good quality heavy paper with cardboard covers. The Overstreet Guide states that only 32,000 copies of each book were printed. The four books in the set are as follows: Uncle Scrooge from the year 1952 featuring "Only a Poor Old Man" from US four color 386 (#1), "The Million Dollar Pigeon" from US #7 and "The Water Tank Money Bin" from US four color 495 (#3 - first appearance of Scrooge's #1 dime.) All stories and art by Carl Barks. Donald Duck from the year 1944 featuring "Frozen Gold" and "Mystery of the Swamp" from DD four color 62 (#3). All stories and art by Carl Barks. Donald Duck from the year 1947 featuring "The Ghost of the Grotto" from DD four color 159 (#6) and "Christmas on Bear Mountain" from DD four color 178 (#7 - very first appearance of Uncle Scrooge.) All stories and art by Carl Barks. Mickey Mouse from the year 1934 which reprints "Mickey Mouse and the Bat Bandit of Inferno Gulch" from the 1934 Mickey Mouse newspaper strips by Floyd Gottfredson. I am selling these books as a set only. I will not break them up. The only defects are normal shelf wear. T are no creases, folds, bends, writing, tears or stains. T is only very minimal scuffing along the spine area from having stored against one another, and the Uncle Scrooge volume has the tiniest bump at the top of the spine...almost imperceptible. Grade at Near Mint- due to the aforementioned minor scuffing These books in Near Mint- listed at $65 each in the Overstreet Guide. The four books as a set would be $260 in this grade. PayPal and money orders accepted. Please pay within 7 days of winning an auction. Returns must be within 7 days for refund (less shipping.) These are heavy books, much heavier than a comic., and t are four of them. Shipping to Canada is $11.95. International shipping overseas runs between $20 to $24 for Priority International (sturdy mailing box) or $14 for First Class International Flat Rate (jetpak envelope with cardboard). For overseas, I recommend the Priority box to protect the books better. Additional comics will increase the cost but I combine shipping for multiple purchases. Please do not argue about the shipping...postage is NOT the only factor in determining shipping charges. T are other mailing supplies that must be bought. If you don't like the shipping charge, don't bid. I will not LOSE money on shipping. Please wait until I send an invoice before paying. You may be paying too much (or too little) in shipping fees. Invoices will be sent shortly after the last auction ends. If you finish bidding before the last auction ends, contact me and I'll send an invoice earlier.
