Roger Reed of Illustration House recently commented: "This is not about taking sides in a battle over Norman Rockwell's artistic legitimacy. I'm signing this petition because I'm taking a stand against the irresponsible scholarship and shoddy biography that we see in Solomon's book. I've written about this at length in an article in the second issue of the Journal of Illustration, in 2014. For the Norman Rockwell Museum to support the book as free speech is one thing, but to promote the book as if it contained revelatory facts is quite another. The Museum must come clean about this."
