What else is notable about it?  Is it on Brickshelf?

I've got a book with "a" in the *upper* right hand corner.

I was going from memory and I was wrong - I have the same book although mine

the depths of my parents basement.  One more thing to look for next time I
go up there.  I still haven't found the two 50x50 baseplates with the road
pattern that I know are down there somewhere!
