Kaufman, Richard: Jennings '67 ©1997 Kaufman and Company Hdbk w/ DJ; 254pp, 9x12

Comment (DrDanny): Illustrated by Earle Oakes. First of a planned trilogy about Larry Jennings' work; this mostly covers the 1960s-early 70's. Beautifully produced and written, typical of Kaufman's work, and this is clearly a labor of love on his part. Required reading for cardmen.
