I just received my personal copy of Donald Duck--The Ultimate History by JB Kaufman and David Gerstein.

Like it predecessor "Mickey Mouse --The Ultimate History" it is massive and it is a must-have.

I had a chance to read the full manuscript a few weeks ago and, from cover to cover, it is full of new information and illustrations that I had never seen before.

As you can expect, knowing me, the chapters that I found the most fascinating were those about the abandoned Donald Duck shorts, which are extensive and amazingly detailed.

I realize that this is not a cheap book, but owning is really, really worth it. I am convinced that you will not regret it.

I really hope that both Taschen, JB and David have many more surprises of this caliber for all of us.
