West Melbourne, Florida, Author Publishes New Book

"National Flag Design Studies of Primary Design Elements, Colors, Symbols," a new book by Hank Gardner, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The author, Hank Gardner, has tried to take a series of "snapshots" to describe flags at different time periods, their basic features, and then to compare these over time to see how they have changed. He considers these as the first such studies ever to quantify this information. His study was based on original observations. He believes that there is something here for the beginner, the intermediate, and the advanced vexillologist/flag enthusiast.
