Video of Dr. Adler and Charles Van Doren

This video comes out of a "collection," from which I found on a link that was sent to me by Max Weismann. It is from a collection of thirteen, fourteen-minute videos about the book entitled, How to Read a Book. The videos were produced by Encyclopedia Britannica, however after their production they were lost for 3 years! The cost of the thirteen set collection is very affordable, at a donation price of $24.95, plus $5.00 shipping and handling. If anyone were to be interested the titles of each of the thirteen videos is as follows:

1. To read or not to read.
2. How to keep awake while reading.
3. Coming to terms with the author.
4. What's the proposition and why?
5. The questions to ask a book.
6. Talking back to the author.
7. Sorting out the books.
8. How to read stories.
9. What makes a story good.
10. How to read a poem.
11. Activating poetry and plays.
12. How to read two books at a time.
13. The pyramid of books.
