Hu et al (1993) have selected a sample of proto-planetary nebula candidates based on the IRAS color-color diagram. IRAS 01005+7910 is one object of this sample. We have observed this object photometrically (Table 1) and spectroscopically (Fig. 1). From its spectral type of B2I and optical color of B - V = 0.23, we can derive the reddening as E(B - V) = 0.39 and interstellar/circumstellar absorption Av = 1.20. If it is a normal B-type supergiant, the distance module will be m - M = 16.05 and distance d = 16.2 kpc. Due to the galactic latitude b = 16.6, it should be located at about 4.6 kpcabove the galactic plane. This does not fit with normal B-type supergiant and we considered that it is a post-AGB star located at high galactic latitude. Recently Hrivnak et al (2000) found that this object shows carbon-rich features in the infrared. A paper on observations, reduction and discussions of this object has been submitted to the Chinese Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
