Amazing- I've seen an original slick in person (it sold for five grand) but never one of these.  He sure does need to show more pictures, though.

Hopefully he'll fold the booklet before shipping. That'll save some postage...

Would something like this have a final (or at least preliminary) track listing for the '67 Smile, maybe even clues to Brians original sequencing?
If somebody actually buys this, they need to scan the damn thing already.

The contents of the booklet have appeared in other places.  No need to scan.

Wow, that's an angle I never thought would be explored - the booklet angle. Certainly, Frank Holmes' drawing of Vega-Tables said "My Vega-Tables" and was subtitled with "The Elements". Every hardcore fan knows that, however.

No, it's not Derek Bill - I bought his booklet (well, Peter Reum's booklet, which ended up with Derek via David Leaf).  Are we sure this isn't the reprinted booklet from the 80's in the UK?

Where can you get a reprint of the booklet?

Are there really only 8-10 of those in existence? If so, I would think it's worth a LOT more than $10,000. I f I were a multi-millionaire, I would probably be willing to dish out $100,000 for one of those things.

By the way, for those who were wondering who was selling this, you can see his name in the payment instructions column--Chris Woods

Is that thing that says "Smile Booklet" part of the actual booklet or just a label he put on it for the picture?

Also, a question for anyone who might know or have a clue: Would SMiLE have likely had a gatefold cover with the booklet stuck in the middle, like Concert, or would the booklet have been separate, inserted in the inside of the record jacket?

I wonder what the 30 cents is for ? You would think an even $10,000.00 would be enough LOL

Working my way thru reviewing/discovering ALL the albums covers/booklets/inserts on my site - www.pipeline-operaglass.moonfruit.com - check it out. Part Two is underway as I write and SHOULD be posted this summer ...

Maybe it's one of those things where he needs to raise exactly that much money to save the orphanage or something.

Here's the seller's response when I asked about the booklet's provenance (and after I had to explain what "provenance" meant):

I bought it from a dealer in LA. They got it from a collector in LA( on consignment) he had a Smile item pictured in the Goldmine memorabilia book, I'm told.
Doug somebody, I think.
 He originally bought it from them.(  the same dealer) I think they said.
