Okay, so suffice to say that after some confusion and turmoil, Dan Caylor has removed the Famous Artist Course pdfs from his blog, not realizing (as I never did) that they were still in business and still using the material that was published decades ago.
He's also removed the "Composing Pictures" pdf from his site. Shoki pointed out that Amazon seems to think that the book will be reprinted in February, which would be a nice surprise.
A big thanks anyway to Dan for doing all of that work with the best of intentions.
