My Scott Co license was 30 days too. The first one I got in Nov '07 was not laminated. The second one, in February I think, was. The booklet has been included for quite a long time from what I understand, since the Sheriff Menden days.

Today was day 30 and the permit was waiting in the mailbox.
The permit is a laminated card - much nicer than my old Indiana permit (think thin, flimsy like one "part" from a multi-part form, 5" x 8"...) but not nearly as nice as my old Hennepin County one (printed plastic).
Also included was a small booklet with various information on the state guns laws, guns in general, gun safety, etc.
