Those who have been frustrated in their search for this tale of a most unusual family of beachcombing adventurers will rejoice at the news that the book is now available in reprinted form. The book is written by Marilyn Hedley and illustrated by Flo Ann Hedley, both are Eli Hedley's daughters, and Bamboo Ben's aunts. :up: Eli Hedley Beachcomber 1943 Catalog Reprint This charming catalog features many ink illustrations and black-and-white photographs of the goods that made Eli Hedley famous, and bedecked many a trendy hotel, bar or home in WWII Hollywood.
