The Little Blue Books were published by the Halderman-Julius Publishing Company of Giraud Kansas from 1919-1978. The small
staple bound books were designed to fit into a working man's pocket. Emanuel Haldeman-Julius and his wife Marcet published
them to foster ideals of American socialism and to provide basic education to the working classes. The books included classics
of Western literature as well as books that dealt with current social and political issues. They were enormously popular until
the 1950s when the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, put Halderman-Julius on its' enemies list.
