I’ve been collecting the textbooks released by CRM in the early 70s. None of them beat Biology Today, though they are serious competitors. Much more to come.
Please get in touch if you know the whereabouts of Philip Kirkland. I would love to hear from him, and so would fellow CRM artist Terry Lamb.
Kirkland did a few science fiction covers too, including a few for Robert Silverberg (posted one to my tumblr).

I have the original pencil of the 1971 Developmental Psychology drawing. Any interest? I also have three other limited prints (quite large) of his–“Tea for Two”, “Green Thumb”, “Match Made in Heaven”. One was on a “Psychology Today” magazine. DL
