The correct spelling is Ligia Montoya. (In Spanish the "gi" is pronounced like "he". The "accent" is in the first syllable LI-gia, not Li-GIA as I often hear from English-speaking people.) >How does the compensation agreement that Harbin had with Montoya (if any) >impact future sales of the Harbin works with her models? Ligia sent Harbin folded models along with her letters. Sometimes she included some directions. Harbin picked up some of these models and requested Ligia if he could publish them in his books. Ligia accepted, no money involved, in other words, she gave him permission. I don't think she was toooo happy with the deal, but given the fact that she was so far away and that she would not publish a book on her own, she was comforted with the idea that at least some of her works would see the light in the broader sense of the term. Ligia also gave Sam Randlett permission to publish some of her creations. Important to note is that the diagrams in Bob's and Sam's books are not Ligia's diagrams. Bob and Sam reversed fold Ligia's models and diagrammed from there. Laura Rozenberg
