A special package of this book: Galley Proofs with quite a few notations, corrections, & marks in red or dark pencil. Comb bound pastic covers. 468pp. Illustrated with b/w photocopies of originals. ALONG WITH these proofs comes two art sheets on gray card stock that may have represented prospective covers. Each is titled in original block lettering, "Korean Vignettes" & each features three color vignette drawings by Norma Strickbine. I'm sorry but I am not able to judge what medium was used. The two sheets are 15 1/2" x 19 5/8". Each drawn or painted vignette is about 3" x 6" in size depending on subject. None of these vignettes were used on the cover of the published book. Both author & photographer served in Korea 1950/51. "This book is dedicated to ghe gallant men of all services Army.. Marine Corps.. Navy.. Air Force.. Merchant Marine who in the sacrifice of their lives made it possible for we survivors to return alive to this great nation." The subtitle is this: "201 Veterans of the Korean War Recall that Forgotten War Their Experiences and Thoughts and Wartime Photographs of that Era." This copy in near fine condition & the art sheets likewise.
