What am I offered for this book?

The binding needs some work and there is some evidence of being in a 
somewhat moist environment, but it is complete and the
pages are not stuck together.

My dad was a linotype operator for the Tacoma News Tribune for 37 
years.

Additionally, when he graduated from Navy Boot Camp in 1934/35 he 
was one of the first recruits ever retained/held for six months.

Seems the Great Lakes Print Shop was in need of a Linotype Operator, 
and he had been operating them since he was 13 years old.

His Navy experience operating the machines was on the USS Arizona, 
USS Colorado, and the USS Pennsylvania, and one or two others.

I think he would be pleased to see it in the hands of someone who 
will not let the machines be forgotten.
