Polyworld Vol. 9 number 2 Fall 1990

More contribution from Vivian D.      The Drupa 90 was a special  Drupa in many ways, the organizer broke long standing tradition of having the exhibition every 4 years so that they could have Drupa on the turn of the century in year 2000.      This 20 page Polyworld reports the preparation, showing, visitors and overflow activities as well as world wide activities throughout the company at that time and is a good reading for anyone spending time in Polychrome at that time.    Read the details HERE.
