Here's a link to a spiral version: [http://www.antiquemystique.com/images/2462_jpg.jpg], a link to a non-spiral version: [http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/cartoon/images/Superhero/superman-scrapbook.JPG] and its back cover: [http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/cartoon/images/Superhero/superman-scrapbook2.JPG]

Superman Scrap Book

This was actually in GCD at one point as "Superman Scrapbook" (www.comics.org/series.lasso?SeriesID=143 was the link) as a 1940 series published by DC.

Web research reveals this: It seems to be published by Saafield, and named "Superman Scrap Book" on the cover, and seems to be literally a scrapbook (a cover with blank pages that one clips and pastes magazine/newspaper articles or other remembrances into).

There appear to be at least two versions, one spiral bound, and one not. I'm also seeing two dates: 1940 and 1945.
