Index

Of particular interest are lessons 19-24 profiling each cartoonist in depth.

This copy has been collated and checked for completeness. It is missing the separate "Television Art Supplement" booklet (50 pages), but is otherwise complete with 24 lessons in 3 printed folio binders.

Assignment sheets for all 24 lessons are present.

Near Fine (the page edges are toned and a bit weathered, but apart from that, the pages are very clean, the first and last pages in each binder show occasional wear to the ringholes, three pages have minor pencil marks) in Very Good binders (moderate scuffing and wear to the edges and seams of the binders)
