"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

Premium Pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
Purchase these as a gift for1 of my children that had terrible pillows. To say she was pleased would be an understatement. She said that these were some of the softest and most comfortable pillows she had ever used. They remained puffy while conforming comfortably to her sleep style. She was absolutely in love and I would definitely purchase again.

This is my third time purchasing these nice and comfortable pillows
Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White, Team Name: Pack of 2, Size: Queen - 20" x 30", Color: White
This will be my third time purchasing these pillows. I and my many guests that have had the opportunity to be able to use these pillows in my guest room have spoke of the wonderful and comfortable they were sleeping with them. And they seem to hold up well and are structured nicely as not to lose there stitching in there construction.
I am very please and feel the cost is quite reasonable to store pillows in there purchase price category.
Kind regards,
J Slade

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Comfortable pillows with good support
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I purchased the EIUE Hotel Collection bed pillows (2 pack) looking for something comfortable and supportive, and overall they’ve been a good addition to my bed. The pillows arrived well packaged and fluffed up nicely after opening.
They feel soft but still provide decent support for sleeping. I’m mostly a side and back sleeper, and these pillows have worked well without feeling too flat. They hold their shape better than I expected and don’t require constant fluffing during the night.
The fabric feels smooth and breathable, which helps keep them comfortable. My only small downside is that they’re slightly softer than what I personally prefer, but that really comes down to personal preference.
Overall, these are comfortable, good-quality pillows that offer nice support and value for the price. I’d recommend them if you’re looking for hotel-style pillows that are soft yet supportive.
