About This Item
Mt. Pleasant, SC: Published by the Author, 1984. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Large softcover, light gray exterior decorated on front and rear. The spine has the title and author's name written by hand. Exterior shows creases on front and back along with soiling and spotting. Interior binding is good, no hinge issues. Inscribed and signed by the author on the dedication page to a crewmember of the USS Pope. This same page shows another signature and address as well - this one being Vice Admiral Edward A. Parker, who was the Lt. Cmdr and Commander of the USS Parrott at the time. The opposite page, which is the underside of the cover sews the original owner's name and address of which the book is inscribed to (Lionel A. Normandin of the USS Pope - DD-225). In addition, the last free end page shows signatures and assignment info on an additional 19 enlisted and officers, most of which lists the ships they were on at the time of the campaign. At least one of the signatures matches a name of one of the quotes used in the preface (W. E. "Rebel" Morgan). Some of the ships listed by the names include the destroyers USS Paul Jones (DD-230), USS Parrott (DD-218), USS Barker (DD-213), USS Whipple (DD-217), USS Babbitt (DD-128), and the USS Alden (DD-211). The owner of the book was assigned to the USS Pope, which was attacked and destroyed on 01 March, 1942. The surviving crew spent nearly 60 hours in the water before being rescued. There is some minor markings on the text pages - a box was drawn around the names of a group of destroyers on one of the pages in the front and I thought I saw a sentence underlined on one of the other pages when I first flipped through the book but I could not find the page on a closer inspection. A unique copy signed by many heroes whose bravery and sacrifices were long forgotten until this book was published.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
