Mr.

States, but also in Western Europe as well as Asia. He has just
completed his 10th book, Princeton
Impressions, with
an introduction by the university's president. Among the many
tributes this book has received, the corporate secretary of American
Express (and a Yale alumnus) wrote:
"I
am not being hyperbolic when I say that no other university in the
United States, not one, has been favored with a book as fine as
this."
Mr.
Gambee has served as the Official Photographer for the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, Cunard Lines, Phillips Exeter Academy,
Scottish Development Authority, and others.

compliments on any gift he had sent. It was selected by The

the “Cream of the Coffee Table Books” and reviewed by Steve
Forbes.
