That year, two union booklets were issued -- the only instance of this that I know of -- as well as four convention proofs and a couple others. One of the booklets was the 100th anniversary celebration book, a set of 12 souvenir cards, bound and distributed to union members. Savvy collectors could also purchase these, but they didn't publicize it so you had to know about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked one of these booklets up last month. The binding prevents me from scanning it on my flatbed, but not long ago I bought a small portable "wand" scanner and that enabled me to get some nice images without bending the pages.
