Looks great to me. Nice possession. Also great to have all those images together in one spot.  That's a keeper for my files! Thank you.

Mike would like to add:

Outstanding! The ad directly mentions the booklet as one of the "abundant causes to remember the event".

Don't forget to ask the dining car steward for an order form for one of these, too:
