Front flap, actually.

"The sale of this book is limited strictly to professional
workers, scholars and institutions in folklore, anthropology,
sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and medicine, and to
students in those and related disciplines."

Aside from the price ($12.00), that's the _entire_ copy on
the flaps, although there are odd line drawings.
