2. Gently Used Paperbacks for Our Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
By Warren Cassell
In the most recent Overlook Views newsletter (click thru to read the story) I posted a plea for, and information about, Operation Paperback, a non-partisan organization that coordinates efforts to send paperback books to our service people
overseas. Thus far, fou
r of our 3,000 Overlook families have generously donated books and postage to the cause. As an official volunteer for Operation Paperback I have dispatched their contributions to several APO's (Army Post Office Address)— for military units and individuals who had made requests to Operation Paperback. There are many more requests by our troops and I need your help in fulfilling their needs. Their favorite reading materials, in order of preference are:
Military fiction and non-fiction,
Science Fiction and Fantasy,
Action/Adventure/Thrillers,
Comic Books,
Sports/Motorcycle/Automobile magazines,
Comedy/Humor,
Current Events/Political Affairs,
Biographies, History, Historical Fiction and current Fiction.
If you would like to downsize your libraries for a really good cause, here is your opportunity. It isn't too late to get your Overlook Neighborhood contributions to our service men and women overseas in time for the Holidays. I know they will appreciate it.
