"Heartwarming." -- New York Times "Whether or not you're a book lover, you'll be moved." -- Entertainment Weekly "A readable, accessible addition to World War II literature and] a book that will be enjoyed by lovers of books about books." -- Boston Globe "Four stars out of four] . . . A cultural history that does much to explain modern America." -- USA Today When America entered World War II in 1941, we faced an enemy that had banned and burned 100 million books. Outraged librarians launched a campaign to send free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. In 1943, the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small, lightweight paperbacks for troops to carry in their pockets and rucksacks in every theater of war. These Armed Services Editions were beloved by the troops and are still fondly remembered today. Soldiers read them while waiting to land at Normandy, in hellish trenches in the midst of battles in the Pacific, in field hospitals, and on long bombing flights. They helped rescue The Great Gatsby from obscurity and made Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, into a national icon. When Books Went to War is the inspiring story of the Armed Services Editions, and a treasure for history buffs and book lovers alike. "A thoroughly engaging, enlightening, and often uplifting account . . . I was enthralled and moved." -- Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They CarriedBinding Type: Paperback

Good for smaller dogs too
Style: Tipsy Rosé
This dog toy states it's for large dogs (50+ lbs) but I bought it for my 12 lbs dog anyway, and Im glad I did because she loves it. Keeps her entertained. So much better than just handing her treats. When I hear it rolling across the floor I know she's busy and I dont need to worry about what she's up to. The hole is a good size for treats to fit in but she still has to work to get them out.

Long lasting high entertainment toy
Style: Tipsy Rosé
I was gifted one of these for my puppy and it is a fabulous toy. I put in dried liver chunks with at least one that is a bit of a tight fit so it drags out the experience for him. It’s highly durable, gets dragged around and pushed under furniture, and shows tooth marks but is still very effective. I also appreciate it’s easy to clean.
