A CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE BOOKLET OF WHICH ONLY SEVEN ARE RECORDED, ONLY TWO OF WHICH HAVE NO INTERLEAVING ADHERANCE.
A small press run of covers for the 1¢ booklet was mistakenly made on the salmon stock set aside for the 2¢ booklets rather than the lemon or pink stock meant for the 1¢ booklets. The workers assembling the booklets noted the color of the stock rather than the text and dutifully inserted 2¢ panes.
