How should I present a resort brochure in my general fiction?

In my story the protagonist goes to live in a health resort. The receptionist presents her with a brochure of activities. At the moment I have written like this in a word document;

After patiently listening to my story, she pulled out the resort brochure and pointing out with the pen in her hand she said; “Here, this one looks like something interesting for you.”

Transformation Intensive Programme -- £1500 – 3 months

Activity A with Jacob

Activity B with Daniel

Activity C with Tara.

Activity D with Tom

Should I design this before I send it to the publisher (just in case I am fortunate enough to get one ;)) Or should I just present it in a word table. Will this be also designed for the book?

Often if something is included as an illustration (in a non-children's book) it might be A Clue! Agatha Christie novels are known for this -- if there's a diagram, that means understanding the locations of things is important.

So if you included a full reproduction of the brochure, I'd be wondering if there's a secret within --does it indicate embezzlement (the prices in the brochure are $x, but the person was charged $x+ ? ) Or it could just be very out of date ("those were our 2012 prices -- we now only update the website with current pricing.") Or is there some thinly veiled hostility in the text? Or do the photos indicate a place where something could happen unobserved?
