Simple Hands (Part 1)

In 1975, Al self-published a book with the title Simple Hands. And that pretty much sums up everything about it- just page after page of simply-drawn hands. Apparently, this was for artists to use as reference. They'd page through the book until finding the proper hand-position to appropriate for their own art.

I've got the flu. Going back to bed now...

Not a bad deal, 3/5's of a cent for one hand.
Once again something I have not seen. Thanks Bill
