WWI Light Artillery Training Manual

[Uselessprogress]

I was recently given this manual by a family friend to try and sell. I found a similar one on ebay but with its military nature I didn't know how much condition affects the value. It appears to be a WWI Light artillery training manual with notes from the and comments throughout from the original owner.  I also found this Western Union day letter folded in between the pages.

The price on e-bay seemed a little low, and I don't want this interesting piece of history going for less than it deserves. I understand that this isn't typical, but if anyone has any insights or recommendations of what to do I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance.

Selling these  kind of Artefacts...is a bit of Hit or Miss,....just because its old and you think its valuable..does not mean a thing...it all depends on who is looking on the day...What it does have going for it..is the letter..that adds a whole lot to it, as it gives the manual a little provenance...
