This is how it is really written.  Read top to bottom, right to left.  Many jook-sing forum members?

I don't recall anyone posting this book but this isn't a popular title. (not my book)

I think I've told this story before (but maybe it was long enough ago that people have forgotten it! )

Being a Barks fan, I've long (and I mean really long) had FC 48 on my radar.  Sometime in the early 1970s I tried to trade Bob Beerbohm for a copy at the old Comics&Comix store in Berkeley.  Since I was trying to do the deal mostly with mid-grade Marvels on my end, he had the good sense to turn me down.

I missed on a few other copies over the years.  Bought a copy on the boards several years ago, but it had some resto that the seller missed so I had to return it. Finally landed this copy a couple of years ago.

Posted this one a few times!

This is a surprisingly tough book with, apparently, zero copies on the census -- unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I was one of the customers competing with you for Barks books back then.  I did buy a Four Color 79, Riddle of the Red Hat, from Beerbohm, which I later traded to Yosemite Sam Campbell for one of my two copies of Four Color 9 Pirate Gold.  Unfortunately, my copies of Four Color 9 have not appreciated in value.

Kind of funny that FC 9 isn't seen as being a big a key as it was years ago.  Still a wonderful book to have.  I've never owned a copy.

Great story ( and book)!

Barks also did a Looney Tunes cover for an Overstreet edition years back.

Can you imagine if there was an appearance on that cover or in the pages of this book by Daffy? 

....while we're on the subject, can't recall seeing this in a particular Thread..just can't put my finger on it ...
