The book β€œWhen Books Went to War,” by Molly Guptil Manning explores the program during WWII to get free, pocket-sized books (think cargo pants) to American troops to keep up morale. These were made specifically for the troops and called Armed Services Editions.” Thank you to all who have served, and may we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Anyone interested in this topic or other war history, Octopus Bookshop is open today from 10 am to 5 pm.
