I have to agree with the previous poster, these kits have been available for quite some time in one form or another, they even had books for making simple circuits using blank breadboard and a sharpie marker. I always found those kits cool but fairly impractical if you wanted something that was permanent or useful. See if you can get your hands on these little notebooks and a project box and you really have something there.

Nice find, Pirillo. Visit beautiful Montgomery, Tx.- I'm sure we can find something to sell you.
