wes1761 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 How many pages in the paper? If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
Brit.Privateer Posted September 24, 2011 Author Posted September 24, 2011 How many pages in the paper? This product is only four pages total, one front, two inside, and one back. Most papers produced during this time were only 2 or 4 pages (there were some that had more, but they were produced back in England).
