Operation Paperback is a non-profit, grassroots program founded in 1999. We will be collecting gently used books and send them to American troops deployed overseas. When you join in Operation Paperback, you will let our troops know that you support them, and you have not forgotten them. Only exception to books, would be nothing religious as some books make their way to the Middle East, nothing with pictures that show bare shoulders, backs, etc.
and no stripped books (covers missing).  Generally the requests are for mysteries, thrillers, sci-fi, novels, biographies.
