Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, also includes the presentation card from the company president, Howard Shuttleworth, stating how proud he was of all his employees to fulfill the demands of the War Department, and explains how the book exterior was bound in their own wartime canvas. Canvas exterior does show some spotting and soiling, particular on the edges. The worst being the bottom of the spine area which also has some frayed spots/patches present. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues. There are no signatures or bookplates, no library markings etc. Book is unpaginated and contains roughly 70 pages. Uncommon to find with the actual presentation card presented to employees.
