Is this the booklet you are looking for? This is a low res scan of the cover.

The booklet I have isn't in the greatest shape. It was copyright 1966 and I probably got it in 1967.

That's the updated version of the one on Ninfinger. As far as I know, from 1964 on the catalogue refered to it as the "Design Manual", while the official title on the cover was "Model Rocketry - The Educational Space-Age Hobby". There are at least 5 different versions that I know of, some with only minor changes (ie: a photo of the plastic Electro-Launch replacing a line drawing of the wooden box Electro-Launch), others have different plans and covers. The Ninfinger manual is the earliest that I'm aware of.
