This Is An Extra From My Own Collection Of Amc Material. Note: According To My Sales Records For The Past 25 Years I Have Sold 19 Copies Of The 1936 Guide Only Three Of Them Have Had The Flap. That Is Approximately 16%. The Lack Of Sales For The Field Edition May Have Been At Least Partly Due To The Great Storm And Hurricane & Floods Of 1938 On The East Coast. Or Possibly Some One At The Publishing House Goofed And They Only Bound-Up 500 Of Them With The Flap Who Knows I Have Looked And Read Through All The Journals And Bulletins From 1936 1937 And 1938 But Found No Indication Of How Many Of Each Variation Was Printed. <br/> <br/> AMC hardcover
