In 1943, the U.S. government and the American publishing industry collaborated to create what came to be known as the “Armed Services Editions.” Over the next few years, more than 120 million books representing over 1,200 titles were printed and distributed to overseas troops during the Second World War. The books were printed in an odd horizontal format with bright, primary-colored covers. This Winter 2025 release, the “1943” Edition was inspired by the Armed Service Editions, including three unique “Two-Way” Memo Books. These “1943” Memo Books were created to mimic the ASE’s horizontal orientation. While this is the usual 5.5" x 3.5" Memo Book size, they’re the first with two staples on the short side instead of three on the long side. Show more
