[78-L] Alex Steinweiss article

[fnarf at comcast.net]

Are Bubble Books records with picture covers and little books inside, or are they books with records inside? Same difference, right? But that's not going to persuade a Steinweiss diehard. But this is good, we're getting somewhere. 

Remember, scanning these and posting them to the list isn't going to get us anywhere. Ideally, you'd be able to post them somewhere semi-reputable, with an article with citations. I have no idea where that place is going to be. I have a blog, but no one reads it, and it's hardly authoritative. What'd be nice is to sweet-talk some journalist into doing an article entitled "Before Steinweiss".

"Steinweiss wasn't first" aren't any more reliable than people saying "Steinweiss was first" without some solid documentary proof.
Without it, journalists and authors are right to ignore us.

Times Calendar edition. She also would like to get a link showing examples of illustrated album design pre-Steinweiss. If anyone
has some of the items Mike Biel mentioned and can send me a link or a scan of them, I would appreciate it. My deadline for getting
this in is Wednesday. I will need to trim my letter to make it concise. The way it is now, the Times editors would hack my current
letter to pieces.
