[78-L] VICTOR LABEL BOOK -- you MUST get it

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Thanks, there does not appear to be an order form, or address on that page to mail the payment. Is there another link there I am missing. If they are really plugging and selling this book, you would think it would be more evident where to send the payment.
