✨ Field Notes “1943” Edition — The Long and Tall of It
📖 Inspired by History
In 1943, the U.S. government and the American publishing industry collaborated to create the Armed Services Editions (ASEs) — pocket-sized books distributed to overseas troops during WWII. Over 120 million copies of more than 1,200 titles were printed in a distinctive horizontal format with bold, primary-colored covers. These books boosted morale and brought literature to soldiers in the field.
Our Winter 2025 release, the “1943” Edition, pays tribute to this remarkable chapter in publishing history.
