Price is different. Is your book a giant (76 pages or more)? Are those staples in the spine? Original is square-bound. Do you have the letter to Santa story?

So I realized this is a good question for this thread. Clearly FC 178 and FC 386 are 1 & 2. What do you think is 3 and why? I think Back to the Klondike is pretty close to an expansion of the origin story. So I would pick Scrooge FC 456 as the third jewel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original is square-bound. It feels like cover is made of a type cardboard, staples are in the spine ( there’s quite a roll though), sorta has a magazine look rather than a square bound giant. And is much thinner than my other giants... How many stories are in the US version? This one has 4 I think. Letter to Santa, Dwarves, Wolf and Cookieland.

Great price! The "Letter for Santa" story is excellent, and I love the (spoilers in case you haven't read it yet) Spoiler steam shovel fight and Uncle Scrooge losing it with the judge. I went to look up the Canadian version on the GCD to see if it was the same as the US edition of 132 pages. Turns out they don't have a scan or any indexing of that issue! So you should do a proper scan and upload it - or I can do it for you if you'd like to post a scan here. Edit: I responded to the last post on the previous page, not realising that there were more on this page. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
