A brief description of the collection can be found in Annette Melville's Special collections in the Library of Congress (p. 30). Fuller information is contained in: Books in action : the armed services editions (which contains a list of the titles arranged by author); and in: Editions for the Armed Services, Inc. : a history, together with the complete list of 1324 books published for American armed forces overseas (which contains lists of the titles both by author and by number; the last listed number is 1322, the discrepancy between that and the number 1324 mentioned in the title probably being due to the use of sub-categories with non-consecutive numbers during the course of publication).
