A great bit of news from club member, Jane Robinson:

This is a joyful time for me. In fact, I’m still hovering on cloud 9.  A
few days ago I found a box on my front porch covered in plastic wrap to protect
it from a light rain.  I inspected it closely and discovered it was sent to me
from the University of Oklahoma Press.  Inside I found one of two advance copies
of my Dad’s book, Plains Indian Art The Pioneering Work of John C. Ewers.
This is the book we were working on at the time of his death in May 1997.  It
went through a 14 year birthing process.  I was actually able to hold it in my
hands, turn its pages, and marvel at the beauty of its layout and design. This
was a totally thrilling experience for me. I definitely soared up to cloud 9
when I read the accompanying letter from the editor-in-chief informing me the OU
Press selected this book to receive The Angie Debo Prize presented biennially to
the author of the most distinguished book about the American Southwest published
by the OU Press.  Although this book is not focused entirely on the Southwest,
much of it is, and Dad’s book was selected for this honor.  I’m sure my Dad
would have been thrilled as well.

I’ve attached the OU Press’s catalogue for fall/winter 2011.  This book is
described on page 19. If you find yourself in my neighborhood stop by to take a peek.  The main
shipment of books is now en route from the printer.  It should be available on
October 15.  Advance orders can be placed on Amazon.com.

Thank you for indulging my exuberance.
