I have some old ones (2 by Joe LaMonica) and then some by Mike Decker, T. Myers, Marvin Hardy, Jean Merlin, Bill Beatty, John Holmes, etc. The balloon hq site is great and I wonder what you all think, but especially Larry Moss about the following: Have a column each month from or about one of the balloon artists which many of us know or don't know, but that have helped to make and continue this great form of art to what it has become. I am sure that all of us have learned from the great books and I am always curious to know what the authors are up to and their thoughts or additional tips on balloons. I hope that this can happen. Balloon hq is such a great site and this is only one persons opinion, but maybe it would be worth exploring. The authors and artists have done great work and I would enjoy hearing more from them.
