This booklet, "The Cigarette Card Issues of W.D. & H.O. Wills Parts I and II (revised) and Part III" - An Official Checklist Compiled by A Committee of the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain" (or RB.14), was edited by Edward Wharton-Tigar, and signed off in March 1949.
It was then printed, by Parker Brothers, of St. Albans, in Hertfordshire, as a booklet of forty pages, and thirty-eight illustrations - and published, as a limited edition of five hundred copies, in 1949, to be retailed, to Society members, at eight shillings, and it had forty pages , an overall number of one hundred and twelve cards.
Like all our individual reference booklets, it was superseded by The World Tobacco Issues Index (RB.21), which was issued in 1956.
However we know that after that time these books still remained in stock as when the Cameric Club merged with the Cartophilic Society, this was amongst the books listed as part of a half price offer, so that former Camericans, and new members, could buy one. By that time the normal retail price had risen to nine shillings, but the offer reduced it to four shillings and sixpence.
The reverse of this booklet includes promotion for what were "In preparation : No.15 Ogden, Part I (all issues except Guinea Gold Series) No.16 Wills IV (balance of Wills`issues, except certain Chinese Series) - Order not fixed : B.A.T., Ogden, Part II (Guinea Gold Series), Player, Wills V "
