Scope and Contents
The author recounts, in a most charming essay, his experience in curating an exhibition on Armed Services Editions (ASE) from World War II. These oblong paperback books were produced for the military by a Council on Books in Wartime; originally there were 1322 titles, but copies after 50 years were rare. Daniel Miller sets guidelines for other novice curators which he calls the seven First-time Curator Commandments for his exhibition "Books Go To War." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
