You cool with that? I'll do my best The basic rule is that whenever there is a mix of info and I have to guess/unravel/assume on this end (when you actually KNOW the answer) .. I will get it wrong. Did the Bulletin text say who the artist was? unfortunately no Great stuff...just great! D

Hi Dan, On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 11:06 PM, Dan Walsh wrote: http://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/netherlands-palestine-commi... scan 0007 is the cover of the 1975 Nieuwsbrief, also by Jan Wolters (still waiting for a reply to my inquires). For your special collection PFLP These scans are not fantastic (0004,5 & cover 6) because of cropping. Unfortunately they did not use cm. which our scanner does use. But they give you an idea. I have the PFLP Bulletin (published by the International Committee of the PFLP, Beirut) from April 1979 nr. 26 until April 1982, nr 61 (invasion). Went through them and there are at least another 10 posters (some illustrating interviews with comrade George or whatever) which I will send, they give at least an indication of dates, and some you don't have. Also how do you want me to proceed with my posters? I can start by picking out the ones which I also have in my collection from the wellspring, is that ok? Greetings, Steven
