Collectable Historical Book' Description AM I  'C- R- A- Z-Y?' ;  Maybe!!! Please Read All Below Before Considering Bidding!!! 1).  I will only sell with-in The USA (lower 48 States) or discuss other options if possible and need be!  Please contact me the seller before you bid if it's not with-in this country! 2).  Payment must be made with-in two to three days after winning bid! 3).  Prefered delivery of this item is to be a local pick-up! 4).  Shipping may be determined by the buyer and paid by the seller if it is UPS Ground and pick-up is not possible! 5).  Also delivery will be based upon payment noted!!!  And insurance will be the buyers responsibility;  if local pick-up is not an option!   I have often thought of the opportunities that 'E-Bay' has enabled people to sell their most 'p- r- i- z- e- d' possesions!!!   How do you or anyone else determine what the worth of something is?   They are usually only worth what someone else will 'pay' for them!!!   I think back about the 'rocks' that someone or some company sold quite a few years back with the name Pet attached to them and they probably made somewhere up in the millions!   And I think about the 'rotten potatos' that people have sold; because they could have been divinely created or not;  who knows?  But it seems some looked liked the crucifiction!   I have never tried to cash in on anything;  but I believe that I may have something of great value to a Historical collector!!!   It's very valuable to me also because of the friend who gave it to me and also the Historical significance of what has took place over the past years in Iraq!!!   It's not everyday that a dictator is overthrown;  even though the war has not been popular!  It is a different time in History as a result of our 'Strong and Courageous Military'!!!   May 'GOD' look after them and all who want to live in peace!!!   No-one likes 'war;'  if they've ever known the peace that we have been blessed with!!!  And I appreciate everything that 'GOD' has blessed us; and our country with!!!   This book has meant alot to me as the reserved asking price bears that out!  It was given to me by a friend of mine a few years back;  who had spent time in the middle east and had made friends working as a contractor over there; and from what I understand to be before the war ever took place!!!   And if I'm not mistaken;  I also believe that it was before the first part of the war also!!!   The book appears to be a childrens school book with different pictures of common animals such as birds, camels, monkeys, elephants, giraffes etc.   And it also has 'Saadam's picture' on the second page if opening it from the left is the proper way of reading it!!   I do not know Arabic language;  so I do not know what it says!  It has other things such as what looks like a classroom with a teacher and students and other buildings and what looks like Iraqi soldiers in it also.   It would do me no good to sell it at a cheap price!  I'd rather keep it, as it would not be worth letting it go for an amount that would not help me out!   I do 'cherish' the thought of this great friend of mine who would think enough of me; to give this to me!   However I'm disabled with a large house payment and a 11yr. old child to whom I dearly love and one day want to put through college!    I have been blessed, an unmeasurable amount of times by the 'LORD' in my life and I want the best for my child as every parent should!  My child being one of the greatest blessings outside of the 'LORD' and 'HIS' gift of salvation!   I have never tried to sell anything of this sort or way as I  have always worked hard to get everything that I have!  I went through Hodgkins disease in approx. 1985 and approx. a year or so later fell and broke my back.  First of all;  I give 'GOD' the glory for me still being here!   Secondly; I worked for an additional 20+ years and have never drawn unemployment one day in my life before my problems got the best of me!  I'm not into scams nor would I scam anyone!  It is either worth this to someone or it's not!  I simply do not know what it may be worth!  It could only be worth '$10.00' or it may be worth '1/2 million.'  I simply don't know!   It's not real clean as the pictures show!  It has been used; It is authenic!  And it is not too terribly dirty either!!   I know that if it is worth this amount or more to someone;  that 'E-BAY ' is the place and the way to find out;  and the way to sell it!!!   If someone wants it and places a bid;  We (the buyer and I) will discuss arangements of getting it to them without taking a chance of something happening to it!!!   Shipping will be as we work it out according to an agreement if other than what I have offered!!   Also;  if any insurance should be taken out for shipment;  the buyer will be responsible for the payment of any insurance!   Also as mentioned beforehand- if sold we (the buyer and I;  the seller will discuss the arrangements of shipping) before the item is shipped to insure that the buyer gets this book safely!!!   You are welcome to submit an offer!!!  Just click onto the contact the seller link and I will consider the offer and if it is with-in reason; I    I may revise the item and then re-open it for bids with that price as a reserve if I were to consider it!!!   We'll I guess this is where the rubber will meet the road!!  Good Luck 'Bidding' and if no one bids I will not be any worse off!!!  Thank You For Looking!!!   Place a Bid!
