        Dear Folks -- particularly Italian Folks,

        I am helping John Clark to prepare the 60th Anniversary issue
of DONALD DUCK these days!  He wants to use one of the pre-WWII
Italian long adventures by Pedrocchi and/or Pinochi.  Someone just
said that a catalog for a museum exhibition -- or something like that
-- would have code numbers for those stories.

        I need ANY code numbers as SOON as humanly possible... PLEASE!
You've gotta help me!  (GASP)

        Here are the stories I know of already, as well as the places
they have been reprinted.  I know all but code numbers for these!
There
are probably more, too... note that not all issues of Paperino
Giornale are accounted for.

        (Info comes from book DISNEY ITALIA, which for some bizarre
reason doesn't give the most vital info -- code numbers!!!)

Story Title                     Artist          Pgs.    Date    Publication

72-100 (1939), AO 33 (1939), AO 52 (1947), SAP 10 (1979)

Here is the code I used to indicate the issues of origin and reprint:

AO = Albo d'Oro (1946-1956)
AOA = Albo d'Oro [Prewar] (1937-1940)
AOAR = Albo d'Oro [Prewar] Reprint Series (1986-present)
AR = Albi della Rosa/Albi di Topolino (1954-1982)
NTR = Nel Regno di Topolino (1935-1940)
NTRT = Nel Regno di Topolino [Reprint] (1980)
PM = Paperino Mese (1986-present)
SAP = Super Almanacco Paperino (1976-1980)
TL = Topolino (Libretto) (1949-present)

        If ANYONE can give me code numbers for these, probably from
the recent printings, PLEASE, PLEASE help me!!!  I will have an
opportunity to help Duck fans get at least one of these stories in
English VERY SOON if you can help!

        I also need the code number for Romano Scarpa's "Colosso dello
Nilo" -- any help available?  John Clark is trying to have Alberto B.
find it for him, but they are having trouble because I was unable to
give them a code number!

        Please help!  I know I sound desperate... I am!

        Your friend,

        David Gerstein
