A little known research source for authors

The Army Officer's Guide from Stackpole Press has been "the book" for officers in the US Army for years. You would be hard pressed to find a serving officer who does not have a copy; probably the edition from the year in which he or she first entered active duty. But there is another use for this book, the current edition and all 46 predecessors. Authors, screen play writers, prop people, and production designers can find no better reference for information about military customs and courtesies, uniforms and insignia, military organizations and duties, or any of the other myriad details that lend realism to stories, novels, screen plays, or theater involving military characters or settings. Whether you order the current edition to support research on a contemporary story or haunt flea markets for a 1951 edition for a story set in the Korean War, this series is a gold mine of information for authors.
