Subject: Please help with locating the book "Ready" by Allen l. Langdon

I read a copy of Allen Langdon's book "Ready" and have since wanted to own a copy myself. I learned that my Grandfather Harold Krueger's brother Corporal Howard R. Krueger had his poem printed in the book. The poem is titled "Death and I". When I read the book years ago (now my Uncle Paul, Harold's son owns the book) I was amazed to see the original hand written poem inside the book where the text version of the same poem was! My Uncle has a couple of letters from Howard as well also inside the book. What I found interesting is how Mr. Langdon knew about the poem, and I wondered if he knew that there was a missing paragraph not added to the book, but written on the letter we have. My Grandfather Harold made it back from the war and was with us for a long time passing away only a few years ago. Sadly, his brother Howard died in the Battle of the Buldge. The poem was written in a foxhole on hill 131. I am pleading to anyone reading this if you know how I can get a copy of that book, or in addition to get a hold of Mr. Langdon to understand how he got the poem and if their is more to learn about Corporal Howard R. Krueger. I have checked all over Amazon, EBAY, and several other scarse, or unpublished book houses only to find out they don't have a copy. This post is my last opportunity. If you find anything, please contact me at aaltotig@aol.com. Thank you in advance for your kind help.
