It is really neat. My husband's aunt gave it to us a few years ago, and we've enjoyed having it... but we're not collectors. So, we thought we would pass this along to someone that would really appreciate it :)

can you tell me who signed it on the front

Jul 26th, 2011 at 8:40:14 AM PDT by

Sure :) It was my husband's great grandmother: Cora F. Stringer. If you enlarge it, you can see it pretty well.

Jul 26th, 2011 at 9:02:25 AM PDT by

This is really neat.

Jul 26th, 2011 at 4:38:21 PM PDT by

Thanks :)

watching i have a complete set of these husband and wife all 4 books and the sign up card as far as i know there was 4 books issued to each adult mite have to add more

Jul 26th, 2011 at 5:17:32 PM PDT by

I know that more than one book was issued to each person, but they usually had to turn in one book before they could get a new one. This is the only one we have, so get it while the gettin's good!

Jul 26th, 2011 at 5:34:44 PM PDT by

Very nice, love vintage.

I'm a WWII buff and collector. I've seen a few of these but have yet been able to acquire one. I'll be keeping an eye on this one and hope to get it. Oh, fanned ya.

Jul 25th, 2011 at 4:55:47 PM PDT by

I have a thing for collecting documentaries, but I've never had the space to collect much else. Thanks for watching!

Jul 25th, 2011 at 5:13:55 PM PDT by

Jul 29th, 2011 at 7:15:06 PM PDT by

It really has been nice having a piece of the family's (and the country's) history, but we're just not collectors. We're more than happy to share with someone who will appreciate it as much as we have :)

The bottom of the back cover "If you don't need it, DON'T BUY IT".
Love that.

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 2:21:25 PM PDT by

I was wondering if anyone else would see that. Don't you wish the government followed that rule?

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:45:19 PM PDT by

I teach and I'd really love to get this - keeping my eyes open and my fingers crossed! Thanks for sharing!!

Jul 30th, 2011 at 10:34:59 PM PDT by

Great! What do you teach?

Jul 31st, 2011 at 4:32:31 PM PDT by

Aug 3rd, 2011 at 8:37:16 PM PDT by

Wow this is really cool, my grandpa was just telling me about these last week, when he was a kid Im glad I got to see one. Thanks for listing such a cool auction!

Aug 3rd, 2011 at 12:37:08 PM PDT by

Glad you got to see one, too! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Aug 3rd, 2011 at 12:40:36 PM PDT by

My mom and I are rooting for a teacher to get this.

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:53:35 PM PDT by

I'm rooting for a teacher or a curator. I'd like this to be enjoyed by many.

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:57:54 PM PDT by

Amen.
I'd be happy if I could get people in my own family to follow that rule. (ok...I don't follow it all the time either). ;)

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:51:30 PM PDT by

Haha us, too. But at least we don't run up a debt that our grandkids' grandkids can't pay back!

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:57:04 PM PDT by

I have some of these! Didn't realize they would be in such high demand! I may need to list them!

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 3:37:26 PM PDT by

I know right?! This has been great!

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 5:44:23 PM PDT by

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 11:07:22 AM PDT by

i may consider putting some of mine on here i become attached too easy though lol if there is this much intrest i might have to make room to get something else to get attached to

Aug 1st, 2011 at 5:36:06 PM PDT by

lol I don't get attached to much, but I *am* addicted to Listia :)

Aug 1st, 2011 at 5:46:01 PM PDT by

I am a history fanatic! Great Auction! This will do well!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 2:16:13 PM PDT by

Aug 1st, 2011 at 1:13:59 PM PDT by

I teach high school English and love to work our SS studies teacher to develop cross-curricular projects. Authentic documents like this are such a terrific way to engage students!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 9:33:44 AM PDT by

Nice! I would love for this to have a "purpose" after it leave my hands!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 9:46:31 AM PDT by

My issue would be getting rid of something like this that traveled through my family like that. Its an AMAZING piece of history!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 5:58:40 AM PDT by

It definitely is amazing... but we do our best not to get attached to things... If it's not useful, out the door it goes!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 7:49:26 AM PDT by

Ohhh now this is awesome! A piece of history right in your hands. I love it! Don't have enough credits to bid, but some lucky person will be so excited to have this. I know I would be!

Aug 1st, 2011 at 4:55:32 AM PDT by

Thanks for stopping by! :D

Aug 1st, 2011 at 7:46:08 AM PDT by

Jul 31st, 2011 at 6:21:28 PM PDT by

Thanks! Be on the lookout... we have lots of antiques that will be making their way to either Listia or to our online store. :)

Jul 31st, 2011 at 6:34:17 PM PDT by

Very Cool Listing!
I have a couple books from my grandparents, mostly used though (only a few stamps left in each) never knew what to do with them :)

Thanks for the idea, may consider posting such at some point (after your auction ends of course)

Fanned ya and watching just for fun!

Peace n Blessings!

Jul 30th, 2011 at 7:47:06 PM PDT by

That's basically what happened to me! I saw a similar posting about a month ago, and I thought it was a great idea... so here it is!

Thanks for watching, and I hope your listings go well if you decide to go in that direction! :)
