Gottfredson in Gemstone

Gemstone could use the take-along format well for an affordable Gottfredson
library.

Taking the example from the Taliaferro Library which seems to have ground to
a halt in all European countires by now, but only after publishing some 20
years of Donald Duck dailies, it would be possible to fit two or even three
dailies to each double-page spread (either chopped in halves or wide
across.)
This would allow a full years worth of strips in reasonably large size in
only 104 or 156 pages.

European pocket books are published with anywhere from 260 to 516 pages, so
it would be imaginable to produce a comple Floyd Gottfredson Library
spanning almost 50 years of daily strips in only ten volumes - an
appropriately similar number to another famous library.

Something of a noble purpose, if Gemstone is looking for one.
