The favorite book of Lina Kuhn

Lina Kuhn worked for a number of years as a student assistant at the GF Corporate Archives. Her link with the Iron Library? At her work place she was always surrounded by books from the library. The Iron Library focuses not only on technical literature, an important collection focus is industrial and corporate history – and that's where Lina Kuhn found her favorite book "Das Abenteuer Migros" (The Migros adventure).

The book

Alfred A. Häsler: Das Abenteuer Migros: die 60 Jahre junge Idee. (Zürich : MGB, 1985).

During the time I worked at the Iron Library, I was mainly employed in the GF Corporate Archives, so I had little chance to see the treasures of the Library itself. Indirectly, though, the connection was always close since at my workplace I was usually surrounded by the Library's books: from beautiful old encyclopedias to new publications in all sorts of languages.
