One distinctive feature of Paul Moore’s kits and documentation is that most of it was very crude, an odd counterpoint to the high quality of the craftsmanship of his kits.  The sides in his kits were very cleanly cut, yet he used inexpensive boxes for his kits; the instruction sheets and catalog sheets were printed on high-acid “second” paper:

     One of the unfortunate consequences of the use of cheap paper is that many of his instruction sheets are now falling apart because of the residual acid left in the paper. Higher qualities of paper would have lasted longer because much more of the residuual acid would  have been rinsed away by the paper manufacturer.

     Moore described his Little Scoots this way:
