Barks relaxes in his studio with a copy of National Geographic, one of his favorite reference sources. 248
arks’s personal reference library The following bibliography is a partially complete list of books and periodicals owned by Carl Barks. Compiled from over a dozen estate auctions (eBay and Bonhams) that took place from May 2007 through October 2010, the bibliography does not include fanzines, foreign editions, catalogues or works written by Barks himself. It is impossible to know, with a few exceptions, when Barks purchased the books or whether or not he actually read them. Some books undoubtedly belonged to his wife Garé. Some were given to Barks as gifts. But some books contain physical evidence that Barks did use them: handwritten marginal notes, bookmarks, sketches or tear sheets of related reference material. Other books are referred to directly by Barks in published interviews. Indirect evidence for the use of some reference books can be found by comparing existing Barks artwork to the reference material. Broad categories include: • Instructional books (art, crafts) • Reference books (visual, historical, and general) • Books collecting the work of other artists • Books that were gifts to Carl and Garé The bibliography is alphabetized by title. Author, publisher and date of publication are given if known. 249 Below: My collection of over 100 books once owned by Barks. His personal library reveals clues as to how he used the books for reference.
