I have started a project over at Books are Weapons in the War of Ideas - I doubt I'll be blogging much (what can you really say? "Oct. 13th. Looked on ebay."?) but I've put up a list of my collection (which my family wants for ease of gift-giving) and some information and links. I'll keep working on it. When I started researching this topic I found-- nothing. I don't want there to be nothing. I want there to be something.

Books are weapons in the war of ideas

Books are weapons in the war of ideas, originally uploaded by Boston Public Library.

The Boston Public Library's Flickr photostream contains many an exciting item. I was especially excited to find the picture above, which features the slogan of the Council on Books in Wartime-- which published Armed Services Editions. It's a compulsion. I may write some kind of nerdy, Creative-commons-licensed nonfiction essay about them just for fun.

Although 1 does not count as a collection

My first Armed Services Edition arrived yesterday.
