Just bumped into that little book the other day. Didn't even know I had it and havent's seen it for 35 or so years, at least.Or maybe I just dreamed I saw it--I'm still not sure exactly where it is. But that Indigo picture when I was a kid, oh man! Many of the "type specimens" in my head are from those drawings, and even though I have seen lots of photos and lots of real specimens since then, those drawing are still how they are supposed to look in my head ( for many species). Somehow one of those great, inspiring little books that seem to be associated with some vague dreamy previous life.
