Dear Jack and Listers........

yes, there certainly is. You need to contact:-

General Services Administration
Federal Supply Services Bureau (3FBP-W-SPECS)
Soecification Section
470 East L'Enfant Plaza SW
Suite 8100
Washington DC 20407
Tel: 202-755-0325

The prices (these were 1994 prices) were:-

Color Book 595B (611 paint chips 1/2"x1") $25
Complete set of chips (3"x5") $150
Fan Deck of chips (1/2"x2") $20
Individual chips (3"x5") $1

Prices for non-US customers were around 20% higher. And that was in 1994 !!!

My contact there, a very helpful lady, was LaFreda McLean.... I hope she is
still there.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards.
Ken
