My copy shipped!
Hmmmm... I've read all those stories save three. Luckily those three are all longer adventure stories! Preordered.
My copy just arrived.
My comic shop says my copy should arrive next Wednesday. Don't know why Diamond is so slow.

Copy just arrived. It's beautiful, as was the Donald volume earlier. The stories are indeed chronological instead of by story length--a change I'm glad they made. The volume includes a George Lucas introduction, 15 heavily-illustrated pages of story notes, and a two-page Barks bio by Ault.
Incidentally, I just posted this in another thread, but I just discovered that Scamp actually had his own comic (1967, Gold Key), of which Al Hubbard drew most of the issues. I've added to my want list #1-19, 21, 26, 27, 28, 32, 33, 35, 36, and 41. I'd much rather that Fantagraphics came up with a Scamp hardcover, but I just don't think that's going to happen...
I have my copy in my hand! Haven't read it yet, but looking through it and it's beaut! There was some complaints about the harsh yellows in the previous volume, and while the colors hear largely hue to the template of the former book it seems the colors or a tad more subdued. As has been said before, there's no grouping of the longer and shorter stories; all of them are published chronologically.
Here's the story of the fans who first found out the name of "The Good Duck Artist":

My review of the latest donald duck volume!
I thought it still had a couple of weeks until its release.
Anyway, it is cool for you to acquire acrimony of crumbling time on blast this website.
