Description

A far cry from the beautiful bookplates the American Library Association provided during World War I, the Victory Book Campaign typically marked its donated books with a utilitarian, drab stamp. “Gift of the People of the United States through the Victory Book Campaign (A.L.A.—A.R.C.—U.S.O.) to the Armed Forces and Merchant Marine,” it stated. This book also happens to be stamped by the book’s recipient, the Ninth Service Command Library in Seattle, Washington.
