==Format==

The books come in a hardcover format, which includes a sewn binding, linen bookmark and [[dust jacket]]. The landscape orientation of the books measures 11 in × 8.5 in (approximately 279&nbsp;mm × 216&nbsp;mm), which allows each comic strip to be reproduced as close to the original published size as possible. Each page accommodates three daily strips.

Only the supplementary material appears in full colour since the daily comic strips were first published in [[black-and-white]] in the newspapers. The strips are scanned from the original syndicate proofs of the Disney archives.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tcj.com/checking-in-with-dean-mullaney/|title=Checking in with Dean Mullaney The Comics Journal|website=www.tcj.com|date=2 February 2015 |language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828020710/http://www.tcj.com/checking-in-with-dean-mullaney/|archive-date=2017-08-28 }}</ref> It's printed on high quality [[acid-free paper]] stock.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cinemasentries.com/review/book-review-donald-duck-the-complete-daily-newspaper-comics-vol-3-the-complete-sunday-newspaper-comics-vol-2-1943-1945/|title=Book Review: ''Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics, Vol. 3'' & ''The Complete Sunday Newspaper Comics, Vol. 2 (1943-1945)''|last=Geise|first=Steve|date=2017-05-09|website=Cinema Sentries|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-19}}</ref> Each volume of the series has about 280 pages and contains close to 750 [[daily strips]] (the equivalent to a 2.5-year original newspaper run). Roughly ten pages of supplemental material are included, such as promotional art, portraits of the creators, and introductory essays by [[animation historian]] [[David Gerstein]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cinemasentries.com/review/walt-disneys-donald-duck-the-complete-daily-newspaper-comics-volume-1-1938-1940-by-al-taliaferro/|title=Book Review: ''Walt Disney's Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics Volume 1 (1938-1940)'' by Al Taliaferro|last=Miller|first=Gordon S.|date=2015-10-19|website=Cinema Sentries|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.comiccrusaders.com/review-donald-duck-the-daily-newspaper-comics-vol-1-1938-1940/|title= REVIEW: DONALD DUCK – THE DAILY NEWSPAPER COMICS VOL. 1 1938 – 1940|website=comiccrusaders.com|date= 2 September 2015|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comicsverse.com/donald-duck-dailies-3-review/|title= DONALD DUCK DAILIES: VOLUME 3 Review|website=comicsverse.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

However, LoAC's venture seems to have ended with an incomplete run, as no further volumes have been published since 2019.
