About This Item
A heavily illustrated biography/bibliography/homage to the art of Hannes Bok, one of the major pulp magazine illustrators of SF and fantasy stories. His work influenced an entire generation of readers and writers: he's in many readers top 3 of pulp artists. Petaja founded the Bokanalia Foundation to keep memory of Bok's work alive. This copy is inscribed to Quinn (Yarbro) "with blessings and all best -- Hyve von! Hanska privat!" Petaja was of Finnish extraction; Yarbro's father was also Finnish, so Petaja inscribed the volume in Finnish. The Finnish translates as "Good luck! Fun days!" according to an attached Post-It note. Corners slightly curling, slight wear to covers; pages white, comb in fine condition. A nice copy of this important work on a pulp artist, heavily illustrated, with good associations.
