The Museum has asked me to forward on to the old Crayon community
a request for a copy of the coffee table book on the firm published for
employees in the early 1980s.

I can't remember whether it was Gombosi and Davies I had email
discussion with about these books (I saw one in the Ross St. offices).
The Museum can't wait and spend time scanning eBay.

So if there is an ex-Crayon who is willing to part with his or her copy
and make a tax-deductable donation to preserve corporate history,
please email me, and I will point Dag to you for details.

I think the book you are referring to is "Cray at Chippewa Falls" and is
photos by Lee Friedlander. They go on ebay for a couple hundred a pop.
There is usually one or more up in the ebay stores for around $400.

Good luck,
Dave
