Today I’m listing several different, very collectable books on military subjects. They are all from a single collection and all have been carefully chosen. The majority relate to events of World War II. Some are rare finds; some are HARDCOVER First Editions; these command more than a later softcover re-print, of course. There are a variety of subjects and fields of action, with a significant second group relating to Military awards. Each is a reminder to collectors that ONE special book is more precious than several ‘lesser’ items. Each is used, most are VGC or better, but the condition of each is described for you separately, as well as pictures being included to further that purpose, as well as to give you an idea of the format and agreeability of the writing and presentation. Each is for sale SEPARATELY. THIS sale is for the item below that is *described in GREEN text *described in the TITLE of this listing *Shown in the pictures. But, for your convenience, I am including details of each of the items here. Multiple purchases can be combined for postage, to your advantage, so such purchasers may care to await a later invoice. (else excess postage payment will be refunded). Should other items be of interest, please go to ‘View Seller’s Other Items’ in the panel at the top right of this listing.
