Selections from the American Atheist Press
HALDEMAN-JULIUS PUBLICATIONS
E. Haldeman-Julius (1889-1951) revolutionized American
publishing with his famous series of ``Little Blue Books.'' These
ten-cent booklets made the great literature of the ages affordable
-- and convenient. Just 3 by 5 inches in size, they fit into a
workingman's pocket. Later, Haldeman-Julius branched into the
publication of ``Big Blue Books,'' printed in the more standard
format of 8 by 5 inches. Headquartered in Girard, Kansas,
Haldeman-Julius Publications was in operation from 1919 to 1951.
Haldeman-Julius didn't just bring the classics to the ordinary
person; he also brought Atheist and socialist literature, as well
as every other topic one could imagine. Housekeeping, crimes of the
Roman Catholic church, puzzles, sexual hygiene, carpentry -- works
on these and other subjects were suddenly available for just a few
cents from Haldeman-Julius Publications. Millions were sold.
American Atheist Press bought a small stock of the remaining
``Big Blue Books'' from Haldeman-Julius' son shortly before the
Kansas warehouse was destroyed by fire. Many of these titles
offered here are sold at four times the price by rare-book dealers.
Ours are unused and in good condition, but most often at least
forty years old. Like all older books they are starting to show
their age with some yellowing of the paper. Nonetheless, the
information they contain is as useful as the day they rolled off
the presses -- perhaps more so, as they provide insights into areas
now totally suppressed.
