Richard Robinson posted info yesterday on The Broken Bullhorn about a very cool book devoted to the art of Norman Saunders. He even provided a link to the book's official site, where you can see thumbnails of all 368 pages.
Well! This naturally put me in a Norman Saunders frame of mind, so I pulled out a few pulps and slapped them on the scanner. Here's the result:

Nice covers. I haven't looked yet, but I have a feeling the book is the one that his son put out a few years ago. If anyone wants to read more about Norman Saunders, I interviewed his son David a few months ago. Here's the URL:

Yep! That's the book.
Wish I'd known about that interview, Laurie, I'd have mentioned it in the review. I'll go back and ad a footnote.
Done.
There is still a lot of interest in Norman Saunders - my interview with David still generates a lot of hits. David has done a tremendous job of keeping his father's legacy alive - the book is proof of that. Thanks for the link.
It's really an excellent interview! I just wanted to create an awareness of the book, which I got for Christmas. Your piece goes far over and above. Very good indeed!
Hey! Great stuff, Dave and Laurie. I never knew Saunders' name before today --what a treasure.
Circa 1958-59 I had some Wild West trading cards that I think were painted by Saunders, but have never seen any reference to them, not even in Non-Sports Cards magazine. Anyone know the ones I'm talking about?
On normansaunders.com, Cap'n, there's a great set of Civil War cards from 1961.
Look here:

I have them, or have seen them. Forget which. Very nice but not the Wild West set I once collected.
HI,
Nice to see Norman Saunders work.
I am new to your blog and will look in often.
Thanks
Vince
