Errors in COA
=============

During the recent work with my "Don Rosa Scandinavian Story Index" I
discovered several errors and lack of information in COA's Don Rosa
Index files. These error are:

a) AR 109 "Fir-Tree-Fracas" was first published in March 1988.
[COA says: 1988]

b) D 92083 "Raider of the Copper Hill" was first published on
January 11th 1993.
[COA says: ]

c) D 92191 "The New Laird of Castle McDuck" was first published on
March 15th 1993.
[COA says: ]

d) D 92273 "The Terror of the Transvaal" was first published on
May 3rd 1993.
[COA says: ]

e) D 92314 "The Dreamtime Duck of the Never Never" was first
published on June 14th 1993.
[COA says: ]

f) D 92380 "The Guardians of the Lost Library" was first
published on September 28th 1993.
[COA says: ]

g) D 92514 "The King of the Klondike" was first published
on July 19th 1993.
[COA says: ]

h) D 93121 "The Billionaire of Dismal Downs" was first
published on November 8th 1993.
[COA says: ]

i) D 97437 "The Sign of the Triple Distlefink" was first
published on January 7th 1998.
[COA says: 1997]
This error is a result of 1998 issues of French Picsou Magazines
wrongly being catalogued as 1997 issues!!!

j) D 99078 "The Quest for Kalevala" was first published in
November 1999.
[COA says: ]

k) D 2000-002 "The Three Caballeros Ride Again" was first
published on September 6th 2000.
[COA says: ]

l) COA gives wrong information about the Norwegian publication of
F PM 01201 (c) "The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut".
The correct info is that the story was published over 3 parts
in DD&Co 39-41/2002.

m) D 2002-033 "The Dream of a Lifetime" is missing.
The necessary Information is found here:

And finally I think that COA is TOO SLOW - TOO OFTEN!!!
