Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail!
Peter Cottontail 3D now available for download. And with it we have all three of the 3-D books Gerber has tagged at 8 scarcity.
As with the Super Animals, raw scans are available upon request if somebody wants a go at improving them. The book itself was reprinted as Peter Cottontail 2 in non-3D, so it would probably be easier to get that than create a 2-D version.
Geo (RIP):
Thanks Eric. We now have most of those rare books?

OK, in terms of 3-D books:
There were only 48 3-D newsstand comics during the 50's boom, plus 2 books that had 1 story in 3-D you needed to get the glasses from elsewhere on. This doesn't count giveaways, which are pretty much the Disney Cheerios ones we can't use or reprints of newsstand books.
There are 12 3-D books of the 48 we can't host here: 2 EC, 2 DC, 2 Atlas, 3 Mighty Mouse, 1 Katy Keene, 1 Sad Sack, and 1 Felix. We also had to remove one story from 3-D Dolly.
There were 3 3-D books that Gerber marked as 8; all 3 are useable here and we now have all 3.
There are 17 books Gerber had tagged as 7's; we can't use all of those and we're missing several. While the three books Gerber had as 8's all seem to be pretty scarce, some of the books he had tagged as 7's are way off base, possibly closer to 5's. Some of them really are that scarce, though.
Overstreet only lists one 3-D book as "scarce", First Christmas, Gerber has that as a 7. I've got a copy and it will be forthcoming fairly soon. The only really hard to find 3-D book I think we'll be missing after that would be Animal Fun; although a few others aren't exactly common that's the only one that looks to me to be a real problem left.
So, yeah. We've got most (but not all) of the harder 3-D books we can use here now either scanned or on the way soon.
Probably more of an answer than you wanted, as you can tell it's a bit of pet project at the moment for me!

And, as I mentioned when I posted those last two issues of Peter Wheat News, somebody else had gotten into the bidding and I wasn't able to get some other issues they posted. That's the bad news.
The good news? They were generous with photos with their listings, so there was enough material to post the books in readable form. Yoc has done a heroic job on the images, and while both of us hold out hope for real scans the books are so rare I'm overjoyed to be able to share them with everybody. A HUGE thank you to Yoc for his editing efforts, and I'm elated that we have as much to share as we do from this incredibly elusive title.
We actually now have 4 arcs where we have 2 of the 3 issues; I actually have hope we may have at least one complete story at some point in my lifetime.
Yoc:
Hi Eric,
Happy to be of service on this noble project you have spearheaded. Fingers crossed we see more listings like these. Good luck on any future auctions.
