New Yorker Overseas Editions
The two paperback books above were part of a series produced for our overseas service men and women during WWII. Measuring just five-and-half by four inches, they fit easily into a pocket, duffel bag or backpack.
The eagle-eyed observer will notice that Profiles From the New Yorker features E.B. White’s only New Yorker cover (published April 23, 1932).

The New Yorker’s Baedeker, with its Peter Arno cover (originally published July 19, 1930) is not to be confused with the 1947 hardcover, Our Own Baedeker, with maps and illustrations by Carl Rose.
