About the Appearance of Books in Wartime A recent ruling by the War Production Board has curtailed the use of paper by book publishers in 1943. In line with this ruling and in order to conserve materials and manpower, we are co-operating by: 1. Using lighter-weight paper, which reduces the bulk of our books substantially. 2. Printing books with smaller margins and with more words to each page. Result: fewer pages per book. Slimmer and smaller books will save paper and plate metal and labor. We are sure that readers will understand the publishers' desire to co-operate as fully as possible with the objectives of the War Production Board and our government.
