    Designed, Compiled and Written by Stuart O. Landry, New Orleans, U.S.A.
    PRIVATELY PRINTED in August, 1937 by Pelican Publishing Company, New Orleans, U.S.A.

    Attention US Buyers:  I will ship this by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice.  Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you choose USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.
    Attention International Buyers:  Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic.  Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option.  You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  Thank you for your understanding.
