Roger Roger P. Gimbel’s new book, Reading the Flags: Boats, Bands, and a Life of Adventure, is more than a collection of stories — it’s also a way to give back.
The book brings together decades of memorable experiences from the water, the road, the print shop, and the stage. Among the stories, you’ll find a Harley chopper built in a living room, a four-hour fight with a marlin, adventures in the Caribbean, stories from the print shop, travels with printers from around the world, and even a Concorde flight with Tom Jones.
Most importantly, all proceeds from the book benefit the Herman L. Gimbel and Audrey M. Gimbel Memorial Fund at the Foundation for Graphic Communication Education, helping provide higher-education grants to students pursuing careers in graphic communications and document management.
By purchasing a copy, you’re not only enjoying a great read — you’re helping support the next generation of our industry.
And if you do read the book, a short review on Amazon would mean a great deal to Roger. Reviews help new readers discover the book, and more readers means more support for students. If a friend or colleague comes to mind, please feel free to forward this email to them as well.
Enjoy the stories. Support the students. Help strengthen the future of graphic communications.
