CONOCO puts its best foot forward

An excellent corporate history of Conoco. I'm a publication designer and I have a few similar books. They are the ideal commission for a designer. Money isn't too important as it's a PR job. The book is probably seventy percent pictorial, mostly photos but also paintings of past CEO's and some graphic ephemera. Author Russ Banham pulls a lot of financial and technical information together for a reasonable read.

The production is first-class (only to be expected, of course) well printed on a semi-matt paper. There is an Index over the last five pages. I must admit I'm not quite sure who would buy a copy. I assume most Conoco employees got a free copy and I bought it because I have a professional interest in the production.
