In Finland we have had almost complete run of Taliaferro dailies from 1938 
to 1951 so far. Each year presented in one soft cover book.
Almost all: one week of war time strips were censored, from 2nd of Feb till 
7th of Feb 1942 were cut off. I wonder what happened in these strips? Short 
explanation on the book says that American publisher made the decision to 
not to publish tehse strips any more. I guess this censoring was the reason 
why American edition wasn't made at all.
Some of the first of these books have Norwegian (?) original title "Donald 
Duck fra dag til dag".
These books are otherwise quite good, but strips are printed in pretty small 
size.
