<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 725308, member: 6763&quot;]Okay guys &amp; Gals:</p><p><br /></p><p>I just heard from Ken, who is probably the only&nbsp; still available authority on the matter form the early days.</p><p><br /></p><p>He said : &quot; think red was selected as the book’s cover so that it would stand out on the shelf wherever it was being sold. It may also have been the only color that was easily available at that time right after the wartime shortages. Or perhaps it was a combination of these two possibilities. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, until we can revive R. S. Yeoman, that will have to serve as the most probable answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim:</p><p>But, I have to admit: It was an EXCELLENT question, and one that I never thought to ask..</p><p><br /></p><p>For future reference: does anyone else have a question?</p><p><br /></p><p>If I don&#039;t know the answer it may be becuase I never thought to ask the question, and I would like to find out the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, inquiring minds out there?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please ask.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if anyone has an interesting Red Book (Guide Book) story, please pass it along to me. I am compiling info for the possible 2nd edition that Ken &amp; I want to issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
