The first post celebrates the work of Ken Riley. “… because Riley most often created full color painted work for the best publications, these illustrations give us a chance to see how effectively he was able to find an alternate strategy for dealing with [Reader’s Digest Condensed Books]’s inferior printing and very poor paper quality.”
