There is a booklet of 5 individual panes of one stamp per pane and a Souvenir Sheet of 10 stamps with 5 different designs. I'm looking for the Scott numbers for:
1. The S/S of 10
2. The individual booklet pane for the Little Mermaid stamp
Here is the S/S:
Thanks!

In Scott, the souvenir sheet of ten is footnoted after the set listing. The sheet also contains ten labels in addition to the ten stamps.
The complete booklet is an unnumbered entry following the list of five booklet panes of one stamp each. The booklet contains one of each of the booklet panes.

The Scott number for the individual *stamp* for The Little Mermaid is 3437b, and the Scott number for the corresponding booklet pane of 1 is 3437g. (2017 cv for 3437g is $0.50)
It also says in the footnote that the complete booklet sold for $6, and that the sheet of 10 stamps + 10 labels is valued at $12.

So the booklet pane with only one stamp that has "The Little Mermaid" is 3437g, and the Souvenir Sheet (or mini-sheet) as depicted is simply 3437a-e, is that correct?
Is there also a set of these stamps with labels? I haven't seen those anywhere. But it seems I would need 3437b with label if I understand correctly.

I don't think that would be correct. The sheet of ten contains self-adhesive stamps that are serpentine die-cut with the same designs from the other sheet stamps 3437a - 3437e. The stamps in the horizontal strip of five (#3437) are syncopated perfed 13 1/4, so they are different stamps of the same design.
For this stamp design, these are the distinctive issues:
- 3437 horizontal strip of five syncopated perfed 13 1/4 (singles 3437a - 3437e)
- booklet panes of one (3437f - 3437j)
- complete booklet of each pane (no Scott catalog number)
- sheet of ten with ten labels serpentine die-cut self-adhesive (footnoted by Scott at end of listing)

OK, so the image I posted above is one strip of 3437a-e and one strip of 3437e-a together in a mini-sheet. The booklet pane I described is 3437g. AND there is a self-adhesive version of these stamps that includes a label for each stamp, and comes in a sheet of 10 stamps and 10 labels. Is that it?

By Jove, I think he's got it! 
...at least that's how I understand it.
At the upper left of the sheet, does the image of the quill pen extend onto the stamp? If so, then the stamp at the upper left and the stamp at the lower right appear to be different, and if so should be cataloged with their own numbers. I just can't tell for sure from the image.

No, the quill is a background image even to the white background of the stamp image, so if there is a difference between the stamps of the top row and bottom row (other than their order), the selvage is not the cause.

Just curious - when did PRC introduce self-adhesive stamps beyond a trial basis?

Michael,
Do you think this is the SA sheet of 10 with labels the catalog refers to?
There are a few of these for sale on eBay (search for "china andersen")
