The Recruit’s Handy Book – United States Navy. Prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Navigation. Published by the Naval Institute, Annapolis, MD. All the basics, many of which are long-forgotten, illustrated and explained. 4 1/4″ x 6″. Some pages were bent at the corners and I did see a small tear on the edge of 1 page. There is fraying around edges of the cover. French,, has signed his name in several places throughout the booklet. Quite the find in good condition!
