    6" X 9 3/4", 46 heavy card-stock pages; fully indexed, ninth edition. The booklet itself is, save for bumped corners, pristine; the envelope not so much.
    A few more pics in a follow up post.

    Please note that the address contains what must have been a common error, but was delivered correctly. I know that because Spokane is where I acquired it, in the early 1970's...for one US dollar.

    I have done no research, yet; I'll see what a google image search brings me. I want to believe it has some value...but hesitate to offer it on eBay quite yet. Your suggestions for other worthy venues will be welcome! Thanks for lookin'!

    Turns out these are pretty common. Haven't seen another 1939, 6th edition...but those a few years older (an' all without an envelope) go for ~$15 to ~$30. Ah, so...

    Oh well. Oddly the bottles and wrappers don't seem to have changed much in the interim. My primary use for it was on grapefruit.

    One of my favorite foods...along with its juice. But one of my meds requires lifetime abstinence from consumption.
    2 drops inna Martini is ver' nice, an' I use it in assorted other culinary ways. A little bit'll do ye!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    If you are selling online, and include some of the pictures you just posted here... I think you could have some luck even with the 6th edition.
