I find them interesting but for most people Corporate history books are a snooze. That may explain why so many can be found on the cheap at Good Will stores and other resale shops. As a collector of medals, tokens and other artifacts having a collection of corporate histories is also an invaluable research tool. Here are just four examples, all of which were found in Good Will stores at a fraction of what it must have cost just to print and ship them. Happy New Year to all.
