How Books Designed for Soldiers’ Pockets Changed Publishing Forever

Once I learned to read there was no stopping me. I became a compulsive reader, spending my boyhood, adolescence and college years with my nose in hundreds of books.

Paperback books were easy to carry. I learned to read while walking, not wanting to waste the time between the bus and home.

I have since moved to an e-reader, which can leave a mark on my forehead when I fall asleep reading at night, but that's the price of having a library in your hands.

This week, a look at paperback books and hoiw they came to be.

TTFN, Fred.

Quote of the week: "The idea of an election is much more interesting to me than the election itself...The act of voting is in itself the defining moment." - Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Democracy in America, 1992
