An estoic book, intended for the purpose to instruct the reader specifically on how to use, 'The Cup of Knowledge' cartomancy teacups. Two editions of this book were published, the only difference are the size. One is square, the latter being rectangular & tall.
The shape of the book was quickly changed to the smaller square shaped booklet, as it fit within its packaging more efficiently with the teacup.
This is a very hard to find item, it is even trickier and much rarer to find this booklet in readable, untorn, and unsoiled conditions. The spine is also stapled, which can lead to rusting and soiling around the metal. I personally keep all old booklets away from sunlight & sealed in a 2mm mylar sleeve, for protection.
