The Paperbound Book in America: the History of Paperbacks and Their European Background (Book Review)	1959-04-30	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2163	81	51	There is a whole generation of readers today which must take completely for granted the profusion of paperback books on sale in drug stores, subway and bus stations, supermarkets, and other places likely and unlikely. I I is given to a topical and chrono- logical account of American paperback pub- lishing between 1939 and 1957, including an account of the government's entrance into the paperback field (in cooperation with the 252 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES Council on Books in Wartime) with its Armed Services Editions, those convenient and well-chosen books which made bearable the inevitable and interminable military formation, waiting in line; the textbooks published for the Armed Forces Institute; and Overseas Editions, Inc., a joint govern- ment and private enterprise project which made possible the widespread distribution of cheap books in the liberated areas of Europe and Asia late in the war.	cache/crl-11257.pdf	txt/crl-11257.txt
