Thank you for replying,
I have 18 of his books and maybe more(I still have a few boxes to
check)Some of them have been signed by him.
My Mother used to do shorthand for him and he even wrote a short
paragraph telling her how good of a worker she was.She all went
around the country marching in many of his parades,with a drum and
bugle corp,from Detroit. Her picture is in at least one of his
books,maybe more.
Most of the books are in good shape and some have the inserts and
jackets that came with the books.
Anyway just thought I would give a little history of how I came to
have these books.I also have many more old books some from the 1800's
