I'm stuck in this office 8 hours a day. Replying to these posts is as exciting as it gets.

The quote, actually, is re-quoted from the very book we're discussing. I think it's from the notes Mason sent to General Assembly when he couldn't attend. (Not sure. The book's at home and I'm at work.)
As for the kind of work I do, I am "in public relations," which could mean anything or nothing. What I actually do is handle advertising and customer relations for a fire truck manufacturer in southern PA. I do a web site and about half a dozen print ads a month, as well as sending out pictures of work in progress to our customers and "other duties as assigned."

What would be the copyright laws on this history book.........would it be acceptable to scan it.........I mean its out of print, and there is clearly a want for the newer guys to get their hands on it. Maybe someone at IHQ could get it done and then post it on the National Site.......they can eve lock the PDf itself, and charge a small fee to get the password........just a thought.....or maybe it could just be emailed around in PDF format......not to sure about the laws on it myself......just throwing some possible solutions out there.

I was pondering that and might see what I can accomplish while I have it in my hands. Ill leave it at that until someone with more expertise on the subject can comment.

I don't know who owns the copyright on it, HQ or Peyser. They both might have a claim to it, since HQ was selling it. Would have to see the book myself, i'm sure someone else could elaborate.

He sounds like a man of my own heart, kinda just made everything up as he went along. Sounds like a guy you would like to bullshit with at the bar.

Pysers Book is still a good read, but as many old Paeds., it gives a lot to be desired about Warren Cole the Founder!
But I am sure, the new writer of the Updated History will be very accurate! 
You have read his History reports om C & C.!
I do request a signed Copy!

There was a cache of the books found at IHQ right before the 2000 General Assembly. I was able to get my copy but I can't explain how. The easiest way to get a copy is to find a brother who has one and kill him. Seriously. I wouldn't sell my copy for $500, so if you find one on Ebay buy it. As for an undate version I heard the same rumor in 2000 so we will just have to wait and see.
I was dissapointed with the content, but at least it is something. I would expect the history of Lambda Chi to be about 500 pages and detail the histories of many of it's chapters, etc. This is what many other org's national histories contain. It should be more like some of the recent stories in the C&C.
