A Treasure Found, Restored, and Now
Available: Three years after writing the
wonderfully expanded third edition of How to
Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van
Doren did a series of thirteen 14-minute videos
about the very essence of the book. The videos were
produced and published by Encyclopaedia Britannica.
For unknown reasons sometime after their original
publication, these videos have been lost all these
years. The DVD includes all thirteen 14-minute
programs for a total of three hours of video. Each
section includes Mortimer Adler and Charles Van
Doren in a lively, candid discussion of the art of
reading and why it is so important and
demonstrating its use in their own reading. For
more information about this DVD or to make it part
of your personal video library, go to http://www.thegreatideas.org/HowToReadABook.htm.
