2018, Letters to Korea by Jeremy C. McCamic, KOREAN WAR, PRIV PR, HB LN, SIGNED!

Description: ULTRA RARE PRIVATELY PUBLISHED BOOK BY KOREAN SERVICEMAN JEREMY CHARLES McCAMIC. IMPORTANTLY, this is a book of letters WRITTEN TO JC McCamic from home, not letters WRITTEN BY JC McCamic while in service back to home. So there aren't war stories, but rather these show the lives of family and friends who communicated with JC McCamic by letters. The letters are exactly reproduced in this book, and some do comment back to McCamic on what he may have said regarding his service - see last typed letter which praises him though unfortunately not sharing any details. THE BOOK IS FLAT SIGNED BY J.C. McCAMIC ON THE TITLE PAGE, AND THEN PERSONALLY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED AGAIN BY J.C. McCAMIC BEHIND THE TITLE PAGE. JC McCamic has written other more traditional memoir books and they are shown in a listing photo. The listing photo on the "Introduction" provides an overview of his intention and the book's contents.
