Thanks for feedback.

A bit more about this book:
 

:D Maybe if I add a little more info someone might be intrigued about this wierd little book?

1) it's only about 25 pages.
2) It seems `excerpt-ed' as it's chapters headings and page numbers jump strangely. It has to be excerpts from other books and publications.
3) 16 pages of photos(actually 32 because both sides of each page have photos) Many are Canadians!
4) At the beginning are `coloured' pages to record
info `Service Record'
3) Statements by Generals, Admirals, big guys.

This book looks like some sort of `promo gift to encourage service people to buy the `bigger' book???'

Could this little book be a collectible? memorabilia?:confused: :D

Found Used Book site
 

Hi. I found (almost) the book I'm talking about. The book they show has 3 Eagles on the front, otherwise it looks and sounds to be the same. The book I have (my neighbors book) has 3 Flags instead of 3 Eagles. The person is asking $15 USA for the one posted. (lots of used military books for sale in that site)

I know this doesn't seem to twig anyones interest but just thot I'd post what I found. Maybe one of you will even find a book you've been trying to find (at the above link)


This book couldn't have been very interesting or I'd expect it to be known about by someone in here. I'm just curious about it because it's so odd. Oh well. I tried!
:D
