Vintage 1940 American Red Cross First Aid Text-Book wood and metal The magazine's caricature and editorialThese old American Red Cross First Aid books are pretty great and pretty handy! This is a 1940 copy, featuring some pretty great photographs and diagrams, my favorite being how to tie all sorts of bandages, slings and tourniquets, including how best to make use of a necktie! Not a bad reference to keep near at hand. 256 pages; 7 7 8" x 5 1 4" x 1 2". Staple binding. Cover shows a little fading and a small stain near the stop, inside first page is torn
