Just like the Paed, TKN had a few issues of their pledge manual that
came out in different years. Sometimes publications change names
(ex. PG&G -> C&C). No big mystery there. I have a copy of the last
VQV and yes it is much shorter than previous versions (have photocopies
of those). That was because of the depression....everything was shortened
to save on printing cost.
I scanned and posted some of the more interesting pages of the VQV online
if you're interested:
