United States Army. Pocket Guide to China. 1942. FN 6.0. General wear for the grade but all solid and attached. There's also a 1943 and 1944 reprint out there (which is marked 1943 or 1944 on the last page, this copy says 1942). Interior illustrations throughout by Milt Caniff that are incredibly racist and inappropriate by today's standards. Stuff like “How to spot a Jap”, etc. $60

Take a million times over .
