The yellowed pages of this book, and books like it, saw more action than most people alive today. These compact Armed Services editions survived storming the beaches of Normandy, fighting the Battle of the Bulge, planting the flag on Iwo Jima. These were special, pocket-sized paperbacks distributed to U.S. military personnel during World War II. They helped shape modern American reading habits and gave millions of service members access to classic and contemporary literature — often for the first time. These paperbacks are typically well worn - for obvious reasons. Don't miss out on your chance to own a part of American history.

A similar volume of Commodore Hornblower by CS Forester is being sold on eBay for more than $100.

My mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Now that she has passed I am selling off her collection.
