Description

British Second World War poster requesting donations from the public of books and magazines to be sent to members of the forces. The poster features mainly text in red and black ink, embellished with a simple border consisting of four parallel lines. The full message from Prime Minister Winston Churchill reads "As more of our men and women go overseas to the fighting front the demand for books increases rapidly. We want your help to meet this need. You may be sure any books you send will give pleasure and relaxation not to one but to many."
