I mentioned that I wanted to compile a list of adobe sites which might be useful to other adobe hunters and serve as a reminder to help preserve the adobes that still exist.Well not only did he like the idea, he already compiled such a list (which was not included in his book due to space limitations) that he offered for this Website. Thanks John!
We'll be adding more sites and vintage photos as they become available.
