An Illustrated Life
Charley Harper – An Illustrated Life, showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved “The Giant Golden Book of Biology” in 1961, “Betty Crocker’s Dinner for Two” in 1961, and “ The Animal Kingdom” in 1968, among many others. His well loved book “Birds and Words”, first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley’s work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this massive volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
It ain’t cheap at $200 but would love to get my hands on a copy. It’s my birthday soon…

It’s available to pre-order on Amazon.co.uk for £66… Looks good, I’d never heard of him before…
Happy birthday, by the way.
