Arlo,
I've seen the first book you mention. As I recall, it is merely a
collection of advertisements by Morgan over the years. To say that I was
underwhelmed by the book would be an understatement: unless you are into the
history of advertising, it is of little interest.
BTW, we drove past your place last Friday. Well, sort of. Drove on I-29
from KC to the US-Canadian border. Managed to drive from Wichita, KS to
Pinawa, MB in 18 hours in a rental 99 Ford Taurus. Actually, left Las Vegas
on Wednesday morning at 8:30 AM and got as far as Flagstaff where I-40 was
closed due to strong winds. Had a foot of snow in Flagstaff next morning
but managed to outdrive the storm and made it to Wichita, KS by midnight
that day.
