Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Author-illustrated (illustrator). 1st Edition. St. George, Thomas R. C/O Postmaster. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co., 1943. First edition. This lively WWII memoir by Corporal Thomas R. St. George blends sharp observation with humor and the author's own cartoon illustrations, offering a distinctive enlisted man's perspective on American military life in Australia during the early 1940s. Originally published in 1943, the work grew out of pieces sent to the San Francisco Chronicle, capturing both cultural encounters and the day-to-day realities of service in the Pacific theater. The original pictorial dust jacket, echoing the book's illustrated style, remains present and visually appealing. This copy is enhanced by laid-in contemporary ephemera: a Book-of-the-Month Club promotional leaflet for W. L. White's They Were Expendable, along with its explanatory slip. Such inserts are increasingly uncommon in situ and add meaningful historical context, reflecting wartime reading culture and mid-century book marketing. This copy was likely owned by a Book-of-the-Month Club subscriber, who received and kept the promotional insert - but the book itself is still a trade first edition, not a BCE. The volume itself is well-preserved, with clean pages and a firm binding, making it an attractive example for collectors of WWII narratives and illustrated memoirs. Condition is Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. The book shows light, even toning typical of the period but remains clean and structurally sound. The jacket exhibits moderate edge wear, rubbing, and small chips at the corners and spine ends, with slight spine toning; not clipped. Copyright page states 1943, with no additional printings indicated, and the format and publisher details support identification as a first edition, first printing. Thomas R. St. George was an American soldier, journalist, and cartoonist whose wartime experiences informed his writing. His work often combines reportage with humor and illustration, reflecting the perspective of enlisted men during WWII. C/O Postmaster is his best-known book, notable for its vivid, personal depiction of American troops abroad.
