Robert Shore did a suite of painting for an abortive edition of the book in the early 1970s. I did the Introduction, and later salvaged it (much revised) as "The Confidence Man's Masquerade" in the 2006 edition. Shore was able to go to the Norton offices in 2006 to negotiate. He had to be reminded of the illustrations--understandably! In packing now I find things I have no recollection of! Shore died in 2014 at 90.
