The Society of Bibliophiles at Oxford University met periodically during each of the three academic terms: Hilary, Trinity and Michaelmas. To announce the meetings it was the long-standing custom to ask different private press printers to do a card which was sent to all the members. Over the years many printers participated, and the cards they produced showed their individual style. In this copy of the book a real term card is laid in. It is one of the two from the only American printer to participate.
