Marco's Comments:
This is a rare booklet, a prospectus that Sam Sharpe had prepared to try to get a publisher interested in publishing his book on Robert-Houdin, something that will not happen until 1983. The book will be titled "Salutations to Robert-Houdin" (S-00191). The booklet is signed by Sharpe on the first and last page, with a note under the test "Offers for the World Copyright are invited": "There were no offers!" It basically presents the index of the large book and explains what the book is about. Only 150 copies of the book were printed (according to the introduction to S-00191) and this copy is inside S-00191.
