WC: [FC] FC Coffee Table Book... contents?

[Western Canada CORSA]

I'll jump on the bandwagon Merv.

I went to school for photography.  And I know of at least two photogenic
FC's here on the island (owners notwithstanding).  Plus I could probably get
to any nice looking examples in Washington State sometime in the spring.

Regards,
Joel

Geez! I can see it now... more graphic designers, writers, and photographers
than buyers.... <G>
I am in awe of all the support this idea is generating!
