Tanner House David L. Pierce Art & History Center	The Illinois Lincoln Highway is the theme for a new book by David Alan Badger. The self-taught artist from Havana, Illinois has penned 9,000 drawings of Illinois architecture over the last twenty-eight years. Tentatively titled Recipes from the Illinois Lincoln Highway, it is believed to be the first cookbook dedicated to the Lincoln Highway.     Badger plans to feature books on each of the Illinois' seven scenic byways. Recipes from the Meeting of the Great Rivers, Recipes from the Illinois National Road, and Recipes from the Illinois River Road were released in 2008 and 2009. Each book takes up to four months to complete but the artist has even loftier goals. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's body of work totaling over 20,000 original drawings, Badger has set that milestone as his ultimate plateau.         Dixon Historic Center Badger began work on the Lincoln Highway book in the late winter of 2009. It will combine a series of drawings and recipes to create a "taste of the region. The author is contacting businesses and other interested parties about the project which has been endorsed by the Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition. Each business that purchases 24 copies of the book (wholesale) will submit recipes and will receive, in return, the original pen and ink drawing (copyright free) of their business and be featured in two pages of the publication.      dabadger@casscomm.com
