    Description

    Fresh from the estate of a local bibliophile and history buff comes this rare complete set of the
    Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World War
    .
    First printed in 1937, this set was printed in 1988 by the United States Army’s Center of Military History in Washington, D.C.
    As you can see, the set is in like-new condition; as far as I can tell, it’s never even been read.
    The five books are:
    Volume 1:
    American Expeditionary Forces: General Headquarters Armies, Army Corps, Services of Supply, Separate Forces
    Volume 2:
    American Expeditionary Forces: Divisions
    Volume 3, Part 1:
    Zone of the Interior: Organization and Activities of the War Department
    Volume 3, Part 2:
    Zone of the Interior: Territorial Departments/Tactical Divisions Organized in 1918/Posts, Camps, and Stations
    Volume 3, Part 3:
    Zone of the Interior: Directory of Troops
    I have only rarely seen a complete set of these books for sale anywhere, and never one in such fine condition; you may never come across another like it.
    If you’ve been looking for one, this is your lucky day.
    Best of all, I am offering it for sale here with NO RESERVE – high bidder takes it!
    I will ship this item ONLY within the United States. If you live elsewhere and are interested in it, please contact me BEFORE bidding so we can discuss the shipping charges, which can be very expensive outside the U.S. I ship once a week (whenever possible). Having received, over the years, some items that did not survive shipping, I always take care to pack very carefully. If you prefer, I will be happy to drop it off at a nearby UPS store and have it professionally packed and shipped at your expense. I reserve the right to raise or lower the shipping charges should they prove to be significantly different than those determined by the shipping calculator. I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone with excessive negative feedback or an otherwise suspicious history. Payment is due within three (3) days of the auction's close. Due to its age I am selling this item without any warranty. All sales are final. I am not a dealer, and don’t have a big operation with a staff, so I would appreciate your patience while I take the time to pack your items with the care they deserve.
    Be sure to see all the pictures! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, but please try to ask as early as possible, as it sometimes takes me a while to get to my email. Please see my other listings, as I am running out of space and am thinning out my collection considerably. I have several fine items up on Ebay right now, and will be listing many more in the weeks and months to come, so please keep checking. Good luck and happy bidding!
