PREFACE

The fortieth anniversary of the Armed Services Editions, those squat
paperbacks distributed by the millions to U.S. servicemen and
servicewomen during World War II, was celebrated at the Library
of Congress on February 17, 1983. People with firsthand experience
in administering the project were brought together with publishers,
scholars, collectors, and readers of these remarkable volumes. The
sponsor of the event, the Center for the Book in the Library of
Congress, is pleased to make this book based on the day's events
available to a wide audience.

The significance of the Armed Services Editions to the mass-
market paperback movement was one theme discussed at the meet-
ing. Moderator Daniel J. Boorstin, The Librarian of Congress, also
invited participants to consider two other pertinent questions: How
did such an imaginative but potentially difficult cooperative project
between government and the private sector get started? And how
did the books affect their readers? He cited the Armed Services
Editions as an inspiring example of how imagination and deter-
mination can entice new audiences into the community of readers.
The Center for the Book is grateful to the participants who
helped make the occasion a fitting tribute to an important endeavor.
The principal speakers were George P. Brockway, Chairman, W.W.
Norton Company, who commented on the origins of the project;
Mildred Young Johnson, a former U.S. Army librarian and widow
of publisher Malcolm Johnson, one of the project's founders; Dor-
othy Deininger, former U.S. Navy librarian who helped administer
the project; Irving Lieberman, former U.S. Army library adminis-
trator and dean emeritus of the University of Washington School
of Librarianship; lan Ballantine, one of the pioneer paperback pub-
lishers; Arnold Gates, a historian who was "troop librarian" with
the 27th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop; historian Michael Hack-
enberg of the Graduate Library School of the University of Chicago;

writer Max Wilk; and Nell Strickland, chief, Library Activities
Division, U.S. Army, who briefly described the army's contempo-
rary book programs.

Two stories about the effect of the books on their readers rep-
resent the many that were told on February 17. Irving Lieberman
read from a letter he had just received from a University of Wash-
ington professor, who said the books "introduced me not only to
new literary friends but opened up associations with some old ones.
I remember in particular Hemingway, Sigrid Undset, Dickens, and
Maugham. ... I still have a half-dozen of these paperbacks. They
represent the most positive of my memories of service days." Arnold
Gates told how during the Battle of Saipan he carried a copy of
Carl Sandburg's Storm over the Land in his helmet: "During the lulls
in the battle I would read what he wrote about another war and
found a great deal of comfort and reassurance." Years later, Sand-
burg inscribed the book for him.

Special thanks go to Michael Hackenberg and Matthew J. Bruc-
coli for the essays they prepared for this volume. As their contri-
butions make clear, each of these scholar-collectors is an avid fan
of the Armed Services Editions; it was a pleasure to share their
enthusiasm. James Gilreath of the Rare Book and Special Collec-
tions Division in the Library of Congress helped plan the occasion
and prepared an exhibit from the Library of Congress's complete set
of Armed Services Editions. We also appreciate the comments sent
to the Center for the Book by the authors of books published in
Armed Services Editions. They are included here with permission.
Proposed by Librarian of Congress Daniel J. Boorstin and es-
tablished by Act of Congress in 1977, the Center for the Book
exists to keep the book flourishing by focusing national attention
on books, reading, and the printed word. It works closely with
organizations outside the Library of Congress to promote reading,
to explore contemporary issues affecting books and reading, and to
stimulate the study of books. It pursues these goals primarily by
bringing together members of the book, educational, and business
communities for symposia and projects. It also sponsors publica-

tions, lectures, research, exhibits, and events that enhance the role
of the book in our society.

The Center for the Book's activities are supported by tax-
deductible gifts from individuals and organizations. We are grateful
to the W.W. Norton Company for a contribution toward the ex-
penses of the ASE anniversary occasion and to the Office of the
Adjutant General, Department of the Army, for funds that helped
support this publication.

THE ARMED SERVICES EDITIONS
AN INTRODUCTION

· John Y Cole
THE Armed Services Editions introduced thousands of Amer-
ican soldiers and sailors to the pleasures of reading. Between
1943 and 1947, nearly 123 million copies of 1,322 titles of
these flat, wide, and very pocketable paperbacks were distributed
to U.S. Armed Forces around the world.¹ Best-sellers, classics,
mysteries, history, westerns, and poetry were part of each shipment.
For most of the U.S. troops overseas, Armed Services Editions were
the only books that were easily available. And never had so many
books found so many enthusiastic readers.

How did it happen? The idea of producing low-cost books for
overseas distribution originated in 1942 in the U.S. Army. Ray L.
Trautman, a young officer who headed the army Library Section,
developed the scheme with assistance from H. Stahley Thompson,
a U.S. Army graphic arts specialist. A key part of the plan was to
use rotary presses normally used for printing magazines but available
during wartime for other purposes because of the drop in the pro-
duction of consumer goods. But nothing on a large scale could be
accomplished unless American publishers would accept the plan and
allow current books to be reprinted. In January 1943, Trautman
and Thompson took their proposal to Malcolm Johnson of D. Van
Nostrand Company, who was a member of the executive committee
of the Council on Books in Wartime. The council was the catalyst
that turned a good idea from the U.S. Army into an efficient co-
operative enterprise which involved the army, the navy, the War
Production Board, over seventy publishing firms, and more than a
dozen printing houses, composition firms, and paper suppliers.

The Council on Books in Wartime was a group of trade book
publishers, librarians, and booksellers formed in 1942 to use books
to contribute "to the war effort of the United Peoples." The council
viewed books as "weapons in the war of ideas," and the notion of
distributing inexpensive paperbacks to American troops overseas on
a massive scale appealed to its members. Malcolm Johnson proposed
that the council not only support but actually operate the entire
project. A detailed plan of operation, negotiated with the armed
forces and among the publishers themselves, was drawn up and

4 John Y. Cole
presented to the council's membership by W. Warder Norton, pres-
ident of W.W. Norton & Company and chairman of the council's
executive committee. Concessions had to be made to overcome ob-
jections from certain publishers. For example, a legal commitment
was made against the postwar dumping of surplus books, and "text-
books, educational books, and scientific and technical books" were
excluded. But it was W. W. Norton's firm support of the plan,
his conviction that "this is the most valuable thing that bookmen
can undertake in the conduct of the war," that convinced the pub-
lishers, and in May 1943 the project was established as a council
activity.²; The navy had agreed to participate and Trautman's coun-
terpart, Isabel DuBois, chief navy librarian, added her suggestions.
Philip Van Doren Stern, the former executive editor of Pocket Books
and an authority on printing production, was named project man-
ager, and Armed Services Editions, Inc., a nonprofit organization,
was established and under way.

The plan called for the books to be sold to the army and navy
by the council at cost of manufacture (estimated at six cents a
volume) plus 10 percent for overhead. The books were distributed
overseas only, and thus kept out of the civilian market and com-
petition with book sales at home. Authors and publishers each
received a royalty of one-half cent per copy. This agreement was
strictly enforced. For example, Irving Stone, whose books Lust for
Life and Immortal Wife were published in the series, tried to "block
off the royalties" on his books-"on the grounds that [they] were
a small enough contribution to make to the war effort"-but was
told "that other authors might need the money and so a firm policy
had to be set."³

Five printing firms agreed to produce the books at less than
half their normal percentage of profit. Portability was the first con-
sideration; each book had to fit in a pocket. Yet the rotary presses
to be used were designed for magazines, not for pocket-sized pub-
lications. The solution was to print the books "two up," or in pairs,
one book above the other, and then to separate them by a horizontal
cut. In other words, as John Jamieson states in his Books for the

The ASE: An Introduction 5
Army, "they were to be printed as magazines and then cut in half
to make pocket-sized books." Two magazine sizes were agreed on:
that of the Reader's Digest, which was printed on the presses of three
of the participating printers, and that of the pulp magazines printed
by the other two firms. Jamieson explains:

Fairly short books were to be printed on the [Reader's Digest)
size presses, and when the pairs had been separated by "slicing,"
the resulting books would measure 5 1/2 by 3 7/8 inches.
Longer books were to be printed on pulp size presses; after
slicing, their dimensions would be 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches. In
both sizes, the text would be printed in double columns of type
and, of course, the books would have to be bound on the short
rather than the long side.⁴

An unpaid advisory committee made up of prominent members
of the publishing and literary world selected the books. The original
members were John Farrar, William Sloane, Jeanne Flexner, Nicholas
Wreden, Mark Van Doren, Amy Loveman, and Harry Hansen. The
committee met twice a week and made its selections primarily from
current and forthcoming publications submitted in book or proof
form by publishers. Recreational reading was the first aim; com-
mittee members chose a mixture of fiction and nonfiction titles,
mostly current, that catered to "all levels of taste within reasonable
limits." The initial goal of fifty books a month was soon reduced,
for practical considerations, to thirty. The first book published (No.
1 in the "A" series) was The Education of Hyman Kaplan by Leo
Rosten, who happened to be working in the Office of War Infor-
mation at the time. Mr. Rosten remembers with pride that "my
book was the first pulled out of the cookie jar, where it mingled
with the other selections. A pocket-sized edition of H*Y*M*A*N
K*A*P*L*A*N for our troops-and, as the first in the planned
series-[was] immensely surprising (and welcome) to me."⁵

The books chosen by the advisory committee also had to be
acceptable to both the army, represented by Ray Trautman, and
the navy, represented by Isabel DuBois. Naturally there were dis-

6 John Y. Cole
agreements, but they were primarily on matters of taste. The ad-
visory committee tended to favor books with serious literary pre-
tensions; Ray Trautman looked with favor on popular best-sellers,
westerns, and mysteries; and Isabel DuBois was somewhere be-
tween. DuBois, however, rejected several titles that the navy had
already ordered in quantity through its centralized book procure-
ment system, and, as a result, there were several omissions the army
felt were "regrettable," particularly James Farrell's Studs Lonigan.⁶

The Armed Services Editions venture was surprisingly free from
censorship. There was a form of self-imposed censorship adhered to
through "guidelines of acceptability," but the guidelines themselves
were not controversial. No books were approved that contained
statements or attitudes offensive to our Allies, any religious or racial
group, or any trade or profession or that were not in accord "with
the spirit of American democracy." Also excluded were books which
"may give aid and comfort to the enemy, or which may be detri-
mental to our own war effort." Two books initially approved but
eventually dropped through exercise of the army's veto power were
George Santayana's Persons and Places (Santayana's views, a reviewer
noted, "although brilliant, are dubious as to democracy") and Zane
Grey's Riders of the Purple Sage, which a proofreader felt was "a bitter
attack on the Mormons."⁷ Nine other books by Zane Grey were
published, however, and the list of other authors included in the
series (among them Willa Cather, James M. Cain, F. Scott Fitz-
gerald, Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, Carl Sandburg, John
Steinbeck, Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, and Mark Twain)
indicates that the army and the navy used their authority discreetly.

One censorship attempt evaporated quickly when the correct
facts became known. When Louis Adamic's Native's Return was pub-
lished in 1934, it contained several paragraphs that were interpreted
as sympathetic to communism. Adamic removed these passages from
the next edition, which was the one reprinted as an Armed Services
Edition in 1943. Until it was realized that the offending text was
not in the ASE edition, however, Serbian-American organizations
and Congressman George A. Dondero protested vehemently against

The ASE: An Introduction 7
the book's inclusion in the ASE program. To Dondero, in fact, its
inclusion demonstrated how the Council on Books in Wartime was
a distributor of "Communist propaganda."⁸

The most serious attempt at censorship occurred in the summer
of 1944 with the approval of Title V of the Soldier Voting Act of
1944, which placed severe limitations on the distribution to mem-
bers of the armed forces of books, magazines, newspapers, radio
broadcasts, and motion pictures which had been paid for or spon-
sored by the government.⁹ The bill was sponsored by Sen. Robert
A. Taft, who feared the armed forces would distribute political
propaganda favoring the reelection of President Franklin D. Roo-
sevelt to a fourth term. The War Department complied strictly
with the provisions of this controversial measure, and the Armed
Services Editions project hired additional readers, including Mrs.
Stephen Vincent Benet and Louis Untermeyer, to screen the selec-
tions. When the army revealed that it had banned such works as
Charles A. Beard's history The Republic and Catherine Drinker Bow-
en's biography of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Yankee from Olympus,
there were vigorous protests. The army continued its zealous en-
forcement of the act, and soon Congress amended and drastically
liberalized the new law. E. B. White's One Man's Meat, one of four
of White's books published as Armed Services Editions, was also
caught up in the Voting Act controversy and temporarily banned.
Mr. White recalls that he "was never told why, but I always like
having a book banned. It shows somebody has read it."¹⁰

Each Armed Services Edition was limited to a certain number
of pages in order to keep its weight within prescribed limits for
shipping. About seventy of the books selected were too long and
had to be abridged. This fact was always indicated on the cover,
but the small size of the volumes led many people to believe, mis-
takenly, that all 1,322 volumes had been abridged or perhaps even
expurgated. Free-lance editors were hired to shorten books such as
The Moonstone and Moby Dick, and Forever Amber was abridged to
about half of its original size by A. H. Lass, head of the English
department in a Brooklyn high school. Some authors did their own

8 John Y. Cole
cutting, including Francis Hackett (Henry the Eighth), Jean Stafford
(Boston Adventure), and Wallace Stegner (Big Rock Candy Mountain).
Stegner remembers that "Louis Untermeyer appraised my book as
being much too fat-he wanted it down to a quarter of a million
words, as I recall. I confidently set out to cut it. The first 30,000
were easy, but there remained approximately 70,000 to come out.
With anguish, I cut another 20,000 before I gave up. Then Louis
and, I believe, Philip Van Doren Stern took out the remaining
50,000. I never dared look at the result, though I have a couple
copies on my shelf."¹¹

The first ASE sets, consisting of thirty titles apiece, were shipped
as freight to overseas bases. The books were packed in wooden cases
holding twenty sets each. One set per month was issued for every
150 men; one set per month for every fifty hospital beds; and one
set per month for every isolated unit, no matter what its size. But
as production increased, the need for a more efficient method of
distribution became apparent. Direct shipment by mail was insti-
tuted in the late spring of 1944 with the "H" series. With series
"J" the number of books per set was increased to thirty-two and
distribution to hospitals in the United States began. In March 1945,
with series "Q," the number of titles per set was increased to forty.
Maximum production, 155,000 sets for the army and navy, was
reached with series "W."¹²

There were two Armed Services Editions production programs.
In the first, between September 1943 and September 1946, from
series "A" through series "HH," nearly 120 million volumes were
produced and distributed at an average cost of 5.9 cents per volume.
The postwar program lasted until September 1947 and produced
approximately three million volumes at a cost of 10.9 cents a vol-
ume. Much of the cost of the postwar program was defrayed by
Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., out of the surplus it had
accumulated during the war. H. Stahley Thompson became man-
ager of the project in December 1945 after Philip Van Doren Stern
resigned. Paul Postell succeeded Ray Trautman as chief of the Li-
brary Section, and thus as the army officer in charge. ¹³

The ASE: An Introduction 9
Distribution of ASE books by direct mail was an improvement,
but depended on the accuracy of the mailing list. Another difficulty
was that distribution of the books was on a first-come, first-served
basis in most units. These were minor problems, however, com-
pared to the overall success of the distribution system and the over-
whelming popularity of the books among the troops. Armed Services
Editions naturally were less plentiful in combat than behind the
front lines, but on some occasions combat troops were fairly well
supplied. This was true, for example, of the troops that went from
Hawaii into the Marshall Islands, the Marianas, and Okinawa. The
most notable mass distribution to combat troops took place in the
marshaling areas in southern England just before the Normandy
invasion. One copy of an Armed Services Edition was issued to each
soldier as he boarded the invasion barge.

Having had their books published in Armed Services Editions
still means a great deal to most authors. David Lavender, "even
over the span of forty years," vividly recalls "the lift I received from
the announcement that One Man's West had been chosen. It was the
first adult book of mine to be published and having the recognition
come so soon was a tremendous stimulus. Fifty-three thousand copies!
I could scarcely believe such figures!" Moreover, "having those fifty-
three thousand copies spread far and wide gave the book a running
start toward three hard-cover editions, followed by its paperback
reprint by the University of Nebraska Press." Emily Kimbrough
and Cornelia Otis Skinner, authors of Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay, "were more proud of being included in the choices for [Armed
Services Editions] than of being selected Book-of-the-Month." The
publication of his Men of Popular Music and The Story of George
Gershwin as Armed Services Editions had "a particularly significant
meaning" for author David Ewen, since at the time he himself was
in the armed forces "and knew only too well what a solace books
could be."¹⁴

Helen MacInnes (While Still We Live) received many letters from
GI's who enjoyed her book. "One in particular," she relates, "said
he had read little until [the ASE edition] got him enjoying literature.

10 John Y. Cole
From there, he read constantly, and after his service went to college.
He ended with a Ph.D. and sent me a copy. It was dedicated to
me, the writer of the novel that started his reading." Kay Boyle
was proud to learn that her novel Avalanche, which deals with the
French Resistance, was useful reading for pilots and crew members
before they left England for bombing missions over France. Irving
Stone, who feels the ASE project "was one of the most significant
accomplishments of our war effort," particularly recalls letters from
soldiers and sailors who told him that they "sometimes read a book
straight through for the first time in their lives."¹⁵

Wallace Stegner is proud to have been part of "that first great
experiment in the mass production and mass distribution of books,"
and he notes that "the paperback revolution that followed owed an
incalculable debt to the Armed Services Editions." As for the future,
"In the next war, presumably, there will not be time to read. So I
have no recommendation for future Armed Services Editions. Prob-
ably they will be on microfiche. But I give the original idea my
gratitude and my applause. I think it did something important."¹⁶

Notes
1. The precise number of volumes delivered to the army and the
navy by Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., is 122,951,031. This
introduction is based largely on John Jamieson's Books for the Army: The
Army Library Service in the Second World War (New York: Columbia Uni-
versity Press, 1950), hereafter cited as Jamieson. John Jamieson was on
the staff of the War Department Library Section during 1944 and 1945.
He used official records and over two hundred interviews in writing Books
for the Army. His history of the ASE project in Editions for the Armed
Services, Inc.; A History together with the Complete List of 1324 Books Published for
American Armed Forces Overseas (New York, 1948), is a slightly condensed
version of chapter 12 in Books for the Army.

The correct number of books printed is 1,322, which includes 99
reprints. The figure given in Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., 1,324,
was arrived at because of confusion about the printings of Webster's New
Handy Dictionary. The dictionary was listed under two separate numbers
in series "V." According to Jamieson, the separate numbering was "for
convenience in assembling the sets." When the dictionary was reprinted
in series "EE," it was again listed twice, but under the original two

The ASE: An Introduction 11
numbers, thereby keeping the count accurate. Jamieson explains that later,
however, the dictionaries were "counted as two 'originals' and two 're-
prints' rather than one each" (p. 293), resulting in the figure 1,324.
A corrected version of the author index in Editions for the Armed Services,
Inc. is included as an appendix to this volume.

Wartime are listed by Richard L. Simon, chairman, Simon and Schuster,
Inc., in his introduction to Editions for the Armed Services, Inc. A list of
the directors of the council is also included. Dedicated to Norton, this volume
unfortunately misplaces his initial, incorrectly calling him Warder W. Norton.

edition of Native's Return was examined by Congressman Dondero, or at
least by his staff, in preparing the congressman's misguided attack. The
book, which is in the Library's general collections, still has paper clips
(now rusted) and penciled markings around the offending passages.

EXPERIMENTATION in paperback publishing did not be-
gin with the arrival of Armed Services Editions (ASE) Series
A in September 1943.¹ Its antecedents-at least in terms of
format-go back to the pocket-sized, clean-cut Aldine editions of
the classics published for scholars at the end of the fifteenth century.
Successful mass distribution of publications dates back to the lit-
erally millions of shabbily produced but scathingly effective tracts
and pamphlets of the Lutheran Reformation and the sixteenth-
century wars of religion. A quarter of a million copies of Luther’s
vernacular tracts alone appeared before August of 1520.² The nine-
teenth century too witnessed important developments in paperback
publishing. The Tauchnitz editions of the 1840s were tied to the
opening of the Leipzig-Dresden railroad line and the need for rail-
way reading. During the same period, vast numbers of cheaply
manufactured “dime novels” of the Beadles and their imitators poured
forth in thousands of titles in the paper-wrapped “library” series of
cheap fiction, dying out only after the successful 1891 implemen-
tation of international copyright. Nor can the unequivocal publish-
ing success of that great entrepreneur Ernst Haldeman-Julius be
ignored. From Girard, Kansas, he skillfully (if somewhat noto-
riously) advertised that a college education could be obtained at a
cost of $2.50 and in the process he may have sold upward of five
hundred million copies of his Little Blue Books between 1919 and
the early years of the 1950s-printing them “two-up” at that.³

More immediate antecedents of the ASE were, of course, Allen
Lane’s English Penguins, which demonstrated during the late 1930s
the primary factor in the success of any paperback series-a mar-
keting network capable of placing the paperback directly into the
hands of the reader-consumer. In Lane’s case, the Woolworth’s de-
partment store chain provided the network. Earlier attempts to
launch paperback series in the United States had often foundered
upon that point. Examples include the short-lived but attractively
produced Paper and Boni Books, distributed mostly by subscription
from 1929 to 1931, when they fell victim to the depression, or the
Modern Age Books, 1937-1940, which successfully tied into the

16 Michael Hackenberg
newspaper and magazine marketing network but attempted to re-
semble the hardcover book, complete with dust jacket and (even
rarer to find now) an occasional protective cardboard sleeve.⁴

The Penguin triumph found its American counterpart in June
1939 when Robert de Graff inaugurated the first ten titles of the
Pocket Books, following an initial trial run of The Good Earth by
Pearl Buck. An attractive design coupled with a network of inde-
pendent wholesale distributors soon demonstrated success in sales
figures of 10,000 copies per title (swelling to a second printing of
15,000) and by that year’s end combined sales of thirty-four titles
in a total of 1.5 million copies (an average 44,100 copies per title).
Despite war looming on the horizon, the following year de Graff
sold fifty-three new titles in his series, selling a total of 4.5 million
copies (84,900 per title) or doubling his output in one year.⁵ The
example tempted many publishers, despite the uncertainties and
shortages of the war. Some, such as the one-year venture of the
Milwaukee-based Red Arrow Books that collapsed immediately in
1939, failed quickly. Others, however, held on during the war,
surviving court challenge and holding their own against the cut-
throat competition of magazine distribution. Avon won a court
battle against the Pocket Books complaint of unfair imitation of
logo that lasted from 1942 to 1944. Popular Library and Dell Books
came out ahead in the distribution struggle. By the war’s end, the
stampede for new markets and new readers was under way. Ian
Ballantine left Penguin to form Bantam in 1945, and Kurt Enoch
and Victor Weybright set up the New American Library of World
Literature in the spring of 1948. Fawcett successfully manipulated
its flashy and titillating cover art to promote its Gold Medal series
of fiction in 1950. Ace got its thirty-five-cent double novels going
in 1952.⁶

The Armed Services Editions project developed in the midst of
these rapidly moving events and emerged from a wartime atmos-
phere that nevertheless did not stifle innovative publishing ideas.
ASE books had a captive audience of millions of people far from
home, who found themselves in a situation where periods of bore-

The ASE in Publishing History 17
dom alternated with periods of intense activity. The ASE series set
the final imprimatur on cheap, mass-market reading material. Bril-
liant book design, unusual cooperation among the participants, sat-
isfactory distribution, and a carefully targeted and receptive audi-
ence were factors that combined to make the ASE project a success.⁷
A sense of pending triumph and of crossing a new threshold
was felt in the American publishing industry and was shared by
several of the ASE organizers from the very inception of the program
in 1943. Pearl Buck, in her dedication to the earlier sample volume
for Pocket Books, mentioned her pleasure that her books might
appear in inexpensive editions, since “surely books ought to be
within the reach of everybody.” W. Warder Norton, in his capacity
as chairman of the executive committee overseeing the Council on
Books in Wartime, likewise appreciated the historical significance
of the ASE series. In a 1942 letter to the council outlining the
operational plans for the series, he said, “The net result to the
industry and to the future of book reading can only be helpful. The
very fact that millions of men will have an opportunity to learn
what a book is and what it can mean is likely now and in post-war
years to exert a tremendous influence on the post-war course of the
industry.”

Norton went on to apologize for mentioning “these rather sel-
fish aspects of the plan,” speaking then of the lack of precedence
for the undertaking and the need to guarantee the necessary eco-
nomic structure to protect the publishers who were to participate.⁸
Those structures were, of course, successfully implemented: provi-
sion for mostly overseas distribution, no dumping on the local
American market, destruction at war’s end of any remaining stock,
and no textbook publishing in the series. On the other hand, pub-
lishers received from the well-designed format a kind of splendid
but free advertising of the hardbound titles whose copyright they
controlled that were then in print. Thus, it seems clear that the
industry sensed a chance to make major inroads into new markets
with minimal risk. And these inroads were in fact made; the impact
of the 1,322 titles printed and marketed between 1943 and 1947

in an almost staggering 123 million copies was not lost upon those
first exposed to the mass-market paperback. According to Freeman
Lewis, the postwar paperback market saw the issuance of 950 new
titles in 1951 in 230 million copies.⁹ The ASE paradigm contrib-
buted to the postwar success for the American paperback industry.
But what of the project’s impact on the readers themselves?

The selection criteria had to be reached through compromise be-
tween the army and navy, which wanted current best-sellers and
lighter, recreational reading for a very diverse clientele, and the
publishers, who favored more serious fiction.¹⁰ Certainly, the com-
promising of literary standards was minimal, as shown by the 1945
Saturday Review of Literature’s presentation of its Award for Distin-
guished Service to American Literature to both the Council on Books
in Wartime and the manager of the series, Philip Van Doren Stern. ¹¹
Countless contemporary records attest to the ubiquity of the series
throughout the theaters of the war. Accounts received at council
headquarters ranged from the story of Lytton Strachey’s Queen Vic-
toria (1-261 in the series) being read in a French foxhole to the
rather maudlin account of the fair-haired dead marine private on
Saipan who had a yellowed copy of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay
sticking out of his back pocket, to the July 1, 1944, field report
of A. J. Liebling, the New Yorker correspondent who testified to
ASE being read on the landing craft at Normandy. In fact, eight
thousand sets of series “C” and “D” were reserved for distribution
to that zone. ¹²

Best-sellers were, of course, almost automatic selections for in-
clusion in the series. Zofia Kossak’s Blessed Are the Meek, an April
1944 Book of the Month Club selection, was chosen for production
in the ASE format by mid-May of that same year. In his history of
the series, John Jamieson lists 246 titles of contemporary fiction,
making up 19 percent of the total output. When the demand for
additional titles for monthly selection increased substantially at the
end of 1944, with increases up to forty titles per month, a sizeable
amount of fiction from an earlier period was relied on to fill in the
monthly gaps. At least six imprints from the 1930s or earlier were
added monthly after 1944, and “made” editions of special literary

The ASE in Publishing History 19
anthologies-many of them edited by Louis Untermeyer-were
published as well. ¹³

Jamieson polled authors to see what kind of responses they had
received from ASE readers. Readers’ reactions showed them to be
most receptive to certain authors. ¹⁴ H. Allen Smith estimated his
five titles (two of which, Low Man on a Totem Pole and Lost in the
Horse Latitudes, were reprinted) had generated five to ten thousand
letters. Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (also re-
printed by ASE), received ten times more service mail than letters
from civilians reacting to her novel. Louis Bromfield and Kenneth
Roberts reported receiving fifteen hundred to two thousand letters.
Lloyd Douglas’s best-seller The Robe was also reprinted by popular
demand, and its author heard from a thousand service readers.

Authors who received from two hundred to five hundred letters
were a mixed company-Hervey Allen, MacKinlay Kantor, H. L.
Mencken, Esther Forbes, Charles Beard (for The Republic), and
E. B. White (whose essays on New England life prompted pangs
of homesickness from many of his correspondents).

James Thurber’s humor was apparently appreciated by service
readers. His six volumes in the series generated upward of
two hundred replies, in which 75 percent of the respondents reported
that they had first encountered his work in ASE format. The authors
of westerns seem not to have received too much mail, although
Ernest Haycox (who, with eighteen ASE titles, was the most prolific
writer to appear in the series) got about two hundred letters.

John Steinbeck was generally pleased with his “extremely friendly”
responses, and a biographer informs us that Willa Cather, who
remained publicly aloof during the war, was finally coaxed by her
publishers to allow three of her novels to appear in the series. She
personally answered some of the “mass-mail” she is said to have
received from abroad. ¹⁵ After Katherine Anne Porter’s “made” book
of Selected Short Stories appeared in the spring of 1945, she received
most of her six hundred replies from readers within the following
six months, including letters from aspiring writers who wished to
discuss techniques and ideas. Following the war and while teaching
at Stanford, Wallace Stegner lectured to a “flood of GI students,”

20 Michael Hackenberg
many of whom had first read The Big Rock Candy Mountain (even
with its 100,000-word excision) as ASE N-32. Herman Wouk, on
the other hand, does not remember any “flood of responses” for ASE
1265 Aurora Dawn (“a sin of my youth,” as he recalls), but that
volume appeared in the much more limited issue of the postwar
ASE series and in only 25,000 copies.¹⁶

The litany could go on, but the trend is clear. Designed like
most truly mass-market products to be digested and discarded, the
ASE volumes added impulse to a publishing development that was
to revolutionize American book-buying habits. That such an ex-
periment succeeded so well during a most adverse period in the
nation’s history speaks highly of the cooperative spirit adopted by
participating authors, publishers, and the government itself. That
the immediate reader response was also positive seems clear from
the correspondence received by both authors and the Council on
Books in Wartime.

In the early 1950s a returned serviceman from the Pacific thea-
ter (who is now an emeritus professor at Berkeley) offered an entire
footlocker of Armed Services Editions to his employer, a major
research library in Chicago. His offer was graciously declined. It
was an opportunity missed, for today any library would be hard
pressed to assemble anything like a complete collection of this fas-
cinating set of books. A Virginia bookseller has been trying to
achieve this feat for nearly thirty years and still lacks about a hundred
titles. Little books, indeed, have their fates, and it is appropriate
that we observe the anniversary of an almost forgotten series in
American publishing history, whose influence is still felt by us
today.

RECOLLECTIONS OF AN ASE COLLECTOR
· Matthew J. Bruccoli
Matthew J. Bruccoli has written or edited more than thirty volumes
in the field of American literature. His most recent book is James
Gould Cozzens: A Life Apart (1983). He holds degrees from Yale
and the University of Virginia. He is Jefferies Professor of English
at the University of South Carolina and a partner in Bruccoli Clark
Publishers. Writing this essay has, he says, rewhetted his ASE
appetite, and recently his personal collection has grown to exceed 570
volumes.

I WASN’T there when they were passing out the Armed Services
Editions. I’m not certain when I first saw one; but it was around
1955 while I was a graduate student at the University of Vir-
ginia-in which case the book was almost certainly shown to me
by John Cook Wyllie, the great librarian who introduced me to
many things. My initial interest was stimulated by the circumstance
that there were two F. Scott Fitzgerald titles in ASE: The Great
Gatsby and The Diamond as Big as the Ritz and Other Stories (a “made”
book). It took me more than ten years to acquire them. Along the
way I got hooked.

The treasures are the “made” books that were published only
in ASE, such as A Rose for Emily and Other Stories and Selected Short
Stories of Ernest Hemingway. These qualify as first-and-only editions
and are mandatory items in an author collection.

The usefulness of an author collection is in assembling and
preserving the evidence about an author’s career: the forms in which
his work appeared, the ways his books were distributed, how he
reached his audience. Collecting first editions (that is, first printings
of first editions) is largely an exercise in check writing. Indeed, the
collecting can be delegated to a few competent dealers. The hard
work comes in assembling every printing of every edition, including
all the paperback reprints. The formats, the covers, the prices, the
blurbs provide the data of literary history. The only way to put
together such a collection-an archive, really-is by handling lots
of books in unlikely places. Linton Massey used to send me into
used paperback stores because he didn’t want to get his suits dusty;
nonetheless, he was a good collector and understood that he needed
the dusty paperbacks. At the time of his death Linton had one of
the best Faulkner collections in the world-as well as an excellent
wardrobe.

In 1959-60 I was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and
spending weeks in Washington. My active ASE collecting-or,
rather, acquiring-dates from this time. On Saturdays I went book-
ing with Roger Stoddard in the Boston area, and we usually caught
a few ASE. Jack Neiburg-one of the nicest bookdealers who ever

26 Matthew J. Bruccoli
lived-used to save them for me. At that time there were half a
dozen junk book shops on Washington’s skid row, one of which
always had some ASE at two for twenty-five cents-or maybe it was
three for twenty-five cents.

At first I bought only the authors I was collecting-Fitzgerald,
Chandler, Wolfe, Cozzens, O’Hara, Lardner, Hemingway-and
thereby passed up titles I may never get another chance at. I was
slow to understand that the ASE provided a collecting situation
with necessary elements for the long haul: There were many titles;
they were cheap; they were hard to find (many of them were left
behind in Europe and the Pacific). But these characteristics also
apply to bottle caps. The key element was literary or cultural value,
and I belatedly recognized that the ASE possessed such value as a
series in addition to the desirability of individual titles.

The ASE project was the biggest book giveaway in history:
122,951,031 copies of 1,322 books. Moreover, it was the biggest
good book giveaway in history. Servicemen who had not previously
been much exposed to books were provided with them when they
had nothing else to do except read. James Dickey, a former engi-
neering student, read the ASE of Marcus Goodrich’s Delilah, James
Stephens’s Etched in Moonlight, and Carl Sandburg’s Selected Poems in
the Philippines.

There is no way to determine how many converts to literature-
or, less elegantly, to reading-were made by the ASE. The fix was
free. Moreover, it seems highly probable that some postwar repu-
tations were stimulated by the introduction of authors in the ASE
to readers who had never read them before. One hundred fifty-five
thousand ASE copies of The Great Gatsby were distributed-as against
the twenty-five thousand copies of the novel printed by Scribners
between 1925 and 1942. Was there a connection between the ASE
publication of Gatsby and Diamond as Big as the Ritz and the Fitz-
gerald revival that commenced in the late 1940s?

Armed with a solid rationale to pacify my wife, in the mid-
1960s I began acquiring every ASE I could find. It was too late. I
never hit the mother lode, although for a long time I was convinced

Recollections of an ASE Collector 27
that somewhere I would find a warehouse full of them. I still fan-
tasize that there are Quonset huts filled with them on Pacific atolls.
My efforts were a matter of picking up one or two at a time. The
biggest strike I ever made was some thirty copies.

Collecting ASE is difficult because they never really became
collectors’ items, except for certain titles. Their unprepossessing
appearance probably discouraged “respectable” dealers from taking
them seriously-which means pricing them high enough to make
it worthwhile to handle them. (One crackpot refused to sell me his
batch of copies because they were “government property.”) I’ve
never seen a catalog devoted to ASE. There are used-paperback
specialists, but none that I know of specializes in ASE.

The ASE collector never knows where they will turn up, which
makes for a lot of excursions to unlikely places. I’ve bought them
in secondhand furniture stores, girlie-magazine emporia, a railroad
station newsstand, a barber shop, and various unclassifiable roadside
enterprises. The best pickings were on skid rows in any city. I
doubt if this circumstance can be attributed to the high literary
level of bums. Rather, it resulted from the cheap rents and the
kinds of marginal used-articles businesses that can survive on these
mean streets.

Apart from literary collectors, there seems to be a breed of
paperback collectors who seek ASE for reasons not entirely clear to
me. The complete list of ASE is included in the latest edition of
Kevin Hancer’s Paperback Price Guide (New York: Harmony Books,
1983), and the prices assigned to them are puzzling. Most of the
titles are valued at $1.20 for a good copy, $3.60 for a fine copy,
or $6.00 for a mint copy. Only sixteen titles are listed at more than
$20 for a mint copy: Stoker’s Dracula ($35); Burroughs’s Tarzan of
the Apes and The Return of Tarzan ($50 each); Wells’s The Time
Machine ($25), The Island of Dr. Moreau ($30), The War of the Worlds
($30), and The Food of the Gods ($30); Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror
($50); Chandler’s The Big Sleep and The Lady in the Lake ($50 each);
Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines and She ($25 each); Stevenson’s The
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ($30); Shelley’s Frankenstein

28 MatthewJ. Bruccoli
($35). According to Hancer, the most valuable title is George
Lowther’s Adventures of Superman, priced at $75. These data indicate
that the ASE market has been established mainly by sci-fi collectors
and those interested in the supernatural.

Absent from the blue-chip list are the ASE abridgments of
Thomas Wolfe’s Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River-
key desiderata for a Wolfe collector. The first ASE, Leo Rosten’s
book The Education of Hyman Kaplan, ought to bring more than
$1.20 or $3.60 or $6.00. I’ll pay $20.

After more than twenty years my total stands at a disappointing
518, and it gets harder all the time. The last one I found was in
August 1982, in The Pansy Patch at St. Andrews, New Brunswick.
Although my quest for completion seems doomed, my ASE collec-
tion remains one of my favorite bibliophilic endeavors because there
has been so much pleasure associated with it and so many other
happy finds in places where there were no ASE. I remember in
particular the scouting trips with Hy Kritzer, a noble librarian who had
carried A Wartime Whitman (S-1) through Italy and France.

A NOTE ON ASE COLLECTIONS IN LIBRARIES

Apparently the only complete set of the Armed Services Editions is
in the Library of Congress, where the volumes are arranged in order
of publication (from series “A” through series “TT”) in the Rare
Book and Special Collections Division. Most of the volumes were
a gift from the Council on Books in Wartime. The University of
Alabama Library also has a set, received as duplicates from the
Library of Congress, which lacks only sixteen titles. The set is
displayed there in the special collections reading room, and Curator
Joyce H. Lamont reports that the books always draw comments
from World War II veterans, who point out titles they read. Fur-
thermore, “many tell me they have copies of especially meaningful
books at home.”

Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript Library has
156 volumes in its ASE collection, donated by Ray L. Trautman,
who, after the war, became a professor at Columbia’s School of
Library Service. The department also has the John Jamieson Papers
on the Editions for the Armed Services, a collection of about sixty-
five hundred items, mostly correspondence, reports, photographs,
and other materials gathered and used by Jamieson in writing his
histories of the ASE project and army library services.

Princeton University Library holds more than six hundred ASE
titles, housed in the Department of Rare Books and Special Collec-
tions. The archival files of the Council on Books in Wartime are
deposited in approximately seventy-five boxes in the Seeley G. Mudd
Manuscript Library at Princeton, where they are part of the library’s
collection of “Papers in Twentieth-Century American Statecraft and
Public Policy.”
