Tabe'r III 504 South Main Street Muncy, Pa. 17756 Please notify me when the addenda and index are ready as I would like to purchase a copy of it to complete my set. I understand that at this time I will be told about binding the series. Name Address The index of roughly 35 pages, an addenda of 20 to 30 pages having corrections to all known errors and additional information and photo­ graphs obtained relative to all thirteen booklets, and an overall pre­ face for the series will be ready about next April. This will NOT be sold in stores. The only way to get it is to send this card in. The print run and price will depend upon how many people desire this wrap­ up. If you do not yet have the complete series, but plan to do so, get the necessary booklets in 1978. We do not guarantee keeping them all in stock after 1978. X ~F'< .
