    The 1994 edition was available in two versions: the Classic Edition (ISBN 1-55709-242-7) and the Deluxe Edition (ISBN 1-55709-241-9). Both versions were first printed by Applewood Books. While the Classic Edition appeared in a regular format, the Deluxe Edition contained additional material and was offered in a higher-quality presentation.

    The edition shown here was delivered in a box featuring a cover motif with Donald Duck's portrait. The front design picks up on the peculiarity that Donald himself appears as the narrator and "author" of his biography – underlined by the note "This is my only authorized biography (signed) D. Duck". The box itself was manufactured in the USA and features an illustration on the back showing Donald Duck in an imaginative pose.

    The 1994 box set contains several elements that increase its collector's value. The centerpiece is the large-format, hardcover book with dust jacket, which contains the original text from 1941. The volume is supplemented by numerous illustrations that recapitulate Donald's fictional life story and are designed in typical Disney humor.

    In addition to the book, the edition includes a CD with an interview and commentary by Carl Barks. This CD celebrates Donald Duck's 60th birthday, accompanied by a "fireside chat" that pays special tribute to the character.

    The box also contains a facsimile of a greeting card featuring Carl Barks' oil painting "Surprise Party at Memory Pond." This motif shows Donald Duck with his family and friends in a birthday scene celebrating happily. A separate booklet with information about the anniversary and an insert with an overview of the box's contents round out the package.
