Question Original Rigging Notes book

I own a WWI Copper cover & back Rigging Notes manual for 18 separate planes, vintage 1914. It is complete & original with diagrams of planes, wings struts, pictures of motors with detailed assembly pictures. Cover title plate states: "Designed by: The Sopwith Aviation Co., Ltd. Kingston on Thames. This book was typically carried in the floor boards of planes to allow pilots or mechanics to fix problems with their aircraft as necessary in the field.

I am trying to find interested parties for purchase of the entire book. Any ideas?
Regards,
JohnB

Hi disc0ver
Please post an image of the cover and/or a few pages and note the size. I am trying to understand if theis is any different from the RFC 'Handbooks' that are fairly common which included rigging and engine maintenance information. While I have several RFC and RAF handbooks as well as a few rigging manuals, I am interested if your volume is something unique.
Regards
John

I'm still interested.
