These little books / booklets were included in packages of the tobacco products mentioned below.
They are quite rare, and hard-to-find these days. This is the only one I have ever had in over 10 years of selling all types of paper products on and other online sites. Beginning the offerding process at a very fair $69.00., which includes USPS First Class delivery to any United States address. I\'ll place the booklet inside an acid-free plastic sleeve and add pieces of white foam board on each side to protect during mailing. I\'ll mail the same day, or next day after PayPal payment is received.
