I would recommend you get a copy of Freemasonry for Dummies and/or Idiots Guide to Freemasonry. Both are worthwhile.

I saw the NMJ 33 many years ago, followed by a four hour lunch at the Army-Navy Club, in which we rambled on for one of the most entertaining afternoons I recollect. I’ve not seen the PHA 33, but I will get to attend their KYCH Convent General next week.
