Carl Barks Library Index by Kim Weston

Of Another Rainbow's CBL set I now have 7 volumes (still looking for volumes V, VI and X for a decent price in or shipped to Australia). Obviously each volume has a decent Contents and volume X has the Index but I'm curious as to thoughts on Kim Weston's CBL Index pictured here. What sort of Indexing features does it include? Anything in addition to CBL's own Index? Is it readable? Is it worth it?

TIA

Can you help me find this Carl Barks story?

I am only 80% certain it is a Carl Barks story, and the only thing I remember is they dived somewhere and uncovered empty amphorae, but after much searching, they finally find some sealed ones which contain what they need.
I remember it because it's where I first learned of amphorae, and I've recently been learning about them again. But I can't for the life of me remember the rest of the story.

Secret swastikas?

Was reading my old comics and found a really early illustration by the man himself. It's of a girl with a tiny swastika on the side of her bra. She was a Caucasian woman dressed as a native American Cabaret dancer so it's not one of those swastikas that indicate a character being a Nazi, must've been intentional.

I'm wondering if there's any more and if this means something else or if he just really liked Nazis. Again it's from before he ever started drawing ducks so I don't think he'd keep drawing them. Should add that although the swastika image isn't annotated, all the other images are from before 1935

Hello! Im thinking of purchasing his book: Carl Barks and the Disney Comic Book: Unmasking the Myth of Modernity. I'm just confused on what it's about.

Is it about why cultures around the world like Donald duck?
