50.000 DIARIES
SENT TO THE SOLDIERS RECORD ENGLISH DEMAND SPECIAL EDITIONS PUBLISHED Wherever British troops are to be found in 1941, a supply of diaries for the year went out to them from London weeks ago. London, indeed, has forgotten 1941 and is already at work on the diaries for 1942. The ■ New Year consignments to Egypt and. to Iceland have, naturally, gone up sharply compared with twelve months ago. Egypt now ranks with Australia and New Zealand among the largest buyers; India and South Africa come next. Special editions give for each country the data appropriate to it about taxation, postal rates, cable rates, and public holidays. The service diary is the most popular for 1941. One publisher alone has sold 50,000 copies of it, not to mention 100,000 National Defence Pocket Books. The latter give details, with pictures for recognising ships, aeroplanes, and guns, together with much military information of a technical kind.
