Historical Note
In 1943, the Council on Books in Wartime, comprised of publishers, librarians,
and booksellers, established the Armed Services Editions, Incorporated.
The council, which believed the ideas that come from reading were perhaps
the best way to fight the war, joined in cooperation with the United States
Army and Navy, several printing firms and large publishing houses including
Penguin Books; Doubleday; Crowell-Collier; Harcourt, Brace & Co.;
MacMillan; Farrar and Rinehart; and Charles Scribner's Sons to get books
to American soldiers during World War II. This joint effort allowed for
the distribution of nearly 123 million copies of the trademark pocket-sized
paperback books in 1,322 titles throughout this five-year period. In most
cases, these distributed books were copies of the complete original works,
but some were condensed through editing to conform to both weight constraints
and content acceptability. Both fiction and non-fiction were represented,
and the genres included adventure, mystery, humor, poetry, biographies,
historical novels, science/mathematics, farm and rural life, and pioneer
and western stories. Distribution decisions were largely based on selections
made by an appointed advisory committee, and tended to be current and
forthcoming titles submitted by publishers.* However, many noted authors
from earlier time periods were included as well, such as Ernest Hemingway,
O. Henry, Walt Whitman, Mary Shelley, and Rudyard Kipling.
*Information taken from Books in Action: The Armed
Services Editions, edited by John Y. Cole.
