ABOVE:  I visited Harry Anderson at his home in Connecticut in June of 1986!
 
I’ve been collecting Harry’s art since 1984 — he was an amazingly talented artist and a very humble man, and I was very glad to have been able to spend 3 hours visiting him at his home in Connecticut in 1986.
 
If anyone can help me acquire more of his illustrations, please contact me!

I received my advanced airmail contributor’s copy on Feb. 23, 2018 — I contributed 140+ tearsheets to this book — and Bud Plant used Harry’s art on the cover of his catalog:
