Anything new?? Looking forward to getting the book. Thanks.
Fred,
Harold's 81st birthday is coming up this month. We decided to wait until then to make our next announcement about the book and exhibition.
cheers!
Jason
Hi, any updates on the Book?
Thanks, much appreciated. The little updates are as welcome as the big announcements :)
Scott,
Thanks for the note. We are in the process of narrowing down quotes that we received from 4 printers and 1 publisher. We hope to make an announcement soon.
In the meantime, we have a few curators, gallery owners, former students of Harold's and one Senator who have agreed to write quotes or passages for the book. More on that soon too.
cheers!
Jason

Nice to see this- I am the guy in the top hat am in the photo of the Coney Island Snake Charmer (Demonika is her hame) from 1995. This photo brought back a lot of great memories. I know Harold took other photos of me, as well as all the members of the sideshow- Michael WIlson the illustrated man, etc. I hope the book gets printed!
