Goodreads asked Albert Seligman:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Albert Seligman I have been working on The American Weekly Covers of Edmund Dulac since the early '90´s. I was a collector of his picture books and was interested in finding the covers he painted for the Hearst magazine. I managed to contact Ann Hughey who was finishing her self publication of Dulac´s bibliography and she helped me to find and photograph all 106 of the published covers from 1924-1951. The cost of self publishing a full color book was beyond my means and I failed to interest any publishers to back the project. So the transparencies sat idle until this year when I had them digitalized and published as an eBook. This is fulfilling my wish to have all his painting and drawings published and I hope his many fans enjoy his works as much as I do.
