Wartime Books
Wartime shortage of pulp, manpower, and transportation has produced a servere shortgage o fpaper. In compliance with orders of the War Production Board, wartime books are printed on lighter-weight paper. This reduces thickness and weight. new books have more words to the page and smaller margins. This reduces the number of pages without reducing reading content.
Thinner books save paper, critical copper, and other metals. They help also to avoid wartime increases in book prices. Wartime books appear to be smaller, but their content has not been cut. They are complete. The only change is in appearance.
Hi, Debbie! Thanks for your kind comment on my little end table. I am answering your question here, as you don't have your e-mail linked up. You might want to consider that ;-) Any time you are going to stain a piece, you have to sand down to bare wood. I started with a 60 grit paper on top, but ended with about a 120 grit to smooth it out. The legs just have to be roughed up to accept the paint; mostly I did that by hand with a medium grit sanding sponge. Then I wipe the whole thing down with liquid sander before I paint/stain. Hope that helps!
