Summary/Abstract: The political and military history of the First World War is well examined by historians, but researchers usually pay less attention to the matters of the homefront. This is problematic, because the war between 1914 and 1918 made an impact in all aspects of life. Book publishing was not an exception. The military activity and the difficulties of the heartland were discussed by the released books. This study wants to introduce the main directions and trends in Hungarian book publishing and present the former First World War Collection of the National Széchényi Library.
