Professor Molly Guptill Manning, author of “When Books Went to War” and curator of “The Best-Read Army in the World,” recently on display at The Grolier Club, joins the Friends of PUL on Wednesday. Feb. 28 to discuss the fascinating story of the “Armed Services Editions” books – pocket-sized editions that were sent to American troops during World War II to provide soldiers with not only a pastime, but also a reminder of their fight for democracy.
