Apex of Life

An example of a Norman Lindsay extravaganza that might have inspired Krenkel:

  2. There have been a few 'lesser' books, but out of print, I think--at used book stores for around $40. But the impressive tomes are way out my reach. Maybe this is a guy that Dover will get around to reprinting.

  3. Illustration Magazine published an issue with some Lindsay's work. I'm waiting for it in my mailbox :-)

  4. Dover reprinting them? Ha! Not while Lindsay's estate/heir's has control of them! Bud Plant has a number of volumes for sale, but like you they're too expensive...
