“Dear Michael,
I received you letter, today; thank you! I will send out your Winds of Change in the morning. I also included one of my old bags from my bookstore. I used to have a physical shop, and that's where I met Robert Crumb. I instantly liked him... This was 30 years ago, and we are still in touch... Anyhow, he did the drawing on my bag; he actually drew it for an ad in Winds of Change, and I liked it so much that I asked him if I could use it on my bags and business cards, and he gladly consented... I saved several of the bags... so...........................................it's yours to keep. I have the original drawing in a frame, above my kitchen table/work area.
Regards,
Robert Liebman Orpheus Books
