Talk:Little Blue Book

message: I wonder if this might be merged with E. Haldeman-Julius, there's a lot of duplicated material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hephaestos (talk • contribs) 
:I believe that we will eventually want distinct articles, and that the existing articles should be allowed an encouraged to evolve away from redundancy, rather than merged, which I think is more likely to cement the lack of distinct articles. —SlamDiego←T 06:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Some mention should be made of the 5 cent booklets that covered basic school subjects.  In the thirties, I taught myself algebra, learning only later that a school text book had many more larger pages, but no more content than my nickel purchase.  I also took a stab at geometry and trigonometry. Of course, I had to take regular courses at night for credit to get into college, but it was a breeze.  I received credit for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, spherical trigonometry and college algebra in four months!  Then came WW II and forced evacuation; after three years of military service, I finally got to calculus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toraichi (talk • contribs) 05:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

message: We need someone to help with “Big Blue Book”, starting soon.
I had created “Big Blue Book” as a temporary redirect here until a separate article were written on these larger brothers to the Little Blue Books.  Another editor, unaware that there had been Big Blue Books, hijacked what he thought had no meaningful relation to Little Blue Book, and turned it into an article about a book having something to do with bicycling.  So I moved his content to an appropriately titled article, and converted “Big Blue Book” to a stub.
But “Big Blue Book” is liable to be dragged-off in another wrong-headed direction if it doesn't start getting some appropriate fleshing-out. —SlamDiego←T 04:30, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This section is unsourced. I know it's fashionable to bash J. Edgar Hoover these days, but blaming him for the decline of a publishing company that included mostly general interest titles like "How To Think Creatively," "New Discoveries in Science," and "Facts You Should Know About Heat" may be a bit much. Why not just cite "changing tastes of the American public," which is usually the cause of the decline in popularity of most things. After all, the period in question included the rise of television, when a lot of publishing companies found increasingly intense competition.
