First published in 1964 for use by the People's Liberation Army, theQuotations from Chairman Mao Tse-TungorLittle Red Bookas it became known in the West, was an anthology of selected quotations pulled from Mao's various speeches and writings. Originally containing 200 quotes, after various revisions the book was expanded to finally number 427 quotes addressing 33 topics. By 1965 demand for the book had grown to enormous levels, and during the Cultural Revolution it became an unofficial requirement for every Chinese citizen to own it, read it and carry a copy at all times. It was translated into various different languages, with the most common edition produced with a distinctive red vinyl cover (see image left). Distribution is likely to have been numbered in the billions. Large crowds ecstatically waving their copies of theQuotationswere a common sight at the time and have been captured in many photographs, newsreels and posters.
