You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ,

LINE OF DEPARTURE: TARAWA by Martin Russ; PUBLISHER: Doubleday and Company, Inc., Garden City, NY; a 1975 printing; 206 pages.

Tarawa Atoll is a tiny dot inthe Gilbert Islands of South Pacific. In November 1943 over 6,000 men died on its 291-acre plain of confined, exposed, featureless coral sand and airstrip concrete in the most memorable battle in Marine Corps history. The invasion of Tarawa was the first major American thrust into the heart of the Japanese Empire. The appalling savagery of the battle shocked and angered many Americans, some of whom called for investigation. But, as the awful totals of the dead and wounded grew from battle to battle, Tarawa was nearly fogrotten.

SHIPPING TIME
I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.

S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!
International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
