Publisher'sNotes

The first special exhibit of DesertMagazine's Art Gallery for the1960-61 season gets underway thismonth. Starting November 5 andrunning through the 30th, the gal-lery will feature authentic Indiansand designs by David Villasenor,who recently put on a very success-ful one-man show at the Los Ange-les Exposition Park Museum.At the same time Desert Maga-zine is proud to present dozens ofthe original paintings of three ofAmerica's most talented Navajoartists: Beatien Yazz, HarrisonBegay and Frank Vigil. This spe-cial exhibit represents the largestselection of Yazz and Begay paint-ings now available for public sale.* * *The Desert Magazine Galleryand Craft Shop (the latter featur-ing Navajo rugs) is now open tothe public without charge, sevendays a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.* * *Desert tan is the color of ourChristmas Gift Subscription Cou-pon, which we unashamedly inviteyou to use to the fullest. It is alsothe color of the ink in our newly-redecorated classified section, "TheTrading Post." Again this monthwe run the book catalog for thosewho would buy books as Christmas

gifts.

* * *Our back cover, a four-color re-production of a Bill Bender paint-ing, is available as a quality reprint,with details for ordering the reprintcarried on the back cover.The heavy request for copies ofthe Clyde Forsythe "Gold Strike"series has encouraged Desert Mag-azine to set up a reprint project.Within six months a portfolio ofDesert Magazine covers, in fullcolor, and printed on high-gradewill be available.
