Seems reasonable to me.
The remarkable thing about Motorola's databooks from that time was
that they were lacking completely and utterly in page numbering. Not
even the appnote pages were numbered. The only way to find what you
were looking for in a section was to leaf through the pages one by
one.
Perhaps that was by design.
