Illustrators and Illustrations of Texas Folklore Society Publications features thirty-five biographies and photographic portraits of illustrators who have created art for the Texas Folklore Society, including Ben Carlton Mead, Jose Cisneros, and Bill Wittliff. It also includes color and black-and-white illustrations from previous TFS publications by those artists, along with covers of dozens of conference programs.

As an active member of the organization since 1970, Robert J. "Jack" Duncan has missed only one annual meeting in the past fifty-five years; during that span he accrued a large library of both the annual volumes and the printed programs. In addition, he obtained many of the earlier books and scans of the printed program covers (the latter from the rare book and Texana archives of several universities).
