Soft cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Assumed 1st printing; not other printings stated. Colorful pictorial trade wraps. 271pp. I have not read this book and there are no summaries of it printed on the covers. It appears to be the memoirs of a military bandsman from Canada who serves as a musician for his outfit in WWII. Page 16: "It all began in 1936 when I joined the famous band of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) in Winnipeg." And from the copyright page: "Although based on fact, and the reminiscences of the author, the characters in this book are fictional." Several creases to the upper front corner of the front cover. Very light wear otherwise to extremities. Because of the creases, I will only grade this copy as "good.". Seller Inventory # SHEL2113
