Seller ID: 2792

Binding: Leather-like burgundy cloth with dulled gilt spine

Condition: Very Good

Leather-like burgundy cloth with dulled gilt spine and cover titles, 22 by 28 cm, 239 xi pp., illustrated with 37 maps and illustrations of gun placements, 24 pages of black and white images, and four mounted glossy black and white photographs, two showing images of Paris and Montmartre, and two showing the locations of air bombs and projectiles in Paris.

Doughboy! Experiences in the Great War [World War One, WWI]

By: Quermbach, Harry V.; Jean Q. LaBurn, Nancy Q. Werstein, eds.

Price: $20.00

Publisher: No place, self-published: No date

Seller ID: 3376

Binding: paperback

Condition: fair

Glossy wraps, 17,7 by 22.9 cm, v [i] 194 pp. plus an 8-page section of black and white photographs and maps at the front. Unfortunately, the poor quality perfect-bound binding is brittle and the first and last few leave are loose. It looks like some leaves at the front were glued back in, but this is a reading copy only that will probably come apart when used. Otherwise, the covers are very good and the text is clean and bright. A scarce and well-written memoir of a Michigan soldier, with the U.S. Army’s Thirty-Second Division, and his time serving during World War I.
