Description
When the Victory Book Campaign was renewed in 1943, the public donated a large percentage of books that were unsuitable for troops. There were children’s books, antique tomes, cookbooks, and specimens in poor and soiled condition. Thus, the campaign began to advertise the need to give “good books.” The image of a young man wearing a helmet served as a reminder of the primary audience for the donations.
