1.		How to Read a Book from MJF Books Customer Review: We have recently made an exciting discovery--three years after writing the wonderfully expanded third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren made a series of thirteen 14-minute videos on the art of reading. The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A History of Knowledge: Past, Present, and Future from Ballantine Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Poor writing with inaccurate "facts" and that was the first few pages. When I would finish a paragraph I couldn't stop myself from thinking how it could have been written more clearly. I stopped reading after he said Jesus was born on December 25th and according to the Christian creed Jesus ascended... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Price: $18.21 Customer Review: ...to the world of classic literature. its quite useful if you are like me and enjoy reading but are not overly familiar with the classics. really does get you excited about reading books that normally you would not consider. dont expect to much depth from the analysis, this collection serves best... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	Great Treasury of Western Thought: A Compendium of Important Statements and Comments on Man and His Institutions by Great Thinkers in Western History from Libraries Unlimited Customer Review: Simply put, essential to any well rounded library reference section. It is so much more than the quick snippets one finds in the average "book of quotations". Mr Adler and company have made a volume that offers the reader and researcher deeper and longer passages, within which are nested many of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Asiatics: A Novel from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Customer Review: The negative (one star) review is far off the mark, and is as accurate as the incorrect title, "The Asians". I read this book while I was living IN Iran in 1962, after a lengthy stay in Beirut, driving a used VW across through Syria and Turkey, and working back, a year later, through Iraq, Jordan,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

[no image]	Lincoln's Commando: The Biography of Commander W.B.Cushing, U.S.N. from Publisher Customer Review: This first edition was published by "Harper & Brothers" in 1957, before ISBN numbers were used.

[no image]	The Joy of Reading: 210 Favorite Books, Plays, Poems, Essays, Etc. from Harmony Customer Review: I compiled my own reading list after reading this book, and so far have found Van Doren's opinions to be right on the money. Everything he's recommended has been worth the time I invested. It is also a great way to get some diversity in learning. Most of us raised in the US don't really get a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
