SH 21-76 Ranger Handbook, 2000 version

This is the same Ranger Handbook Student Handout (SH) that the Infantry School used in the year 2000.  It is an older version with the black cover, but many old timers think this was the best.   Small (4 wide by 5 inches high).

Color Laminated covers for weather protection. The inside is black and white.   Coil binding on top for easy flipping and handling.

This book is a "mini" (7 1/4 inches high by 5 1/2 inches wide) size - A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  

The covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

Coil binding is used to allow for easy page flipping.

 

Not for the weak or fainthearted.
