The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost. Three hours with Mortimer Adler on one DVD. A must for libraries and classroom teaching the art of reading. I cannot over exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.

I would, however, include a look at the Preface to discover the author's intent. Used to be that one could do this process in the bookstore before buying the book. Now-a-days, we have to get the "Meap" or whatever is offered while the author is writing the book or, even worse, actually buy the book and, then, decide that the book is not what was wanted.
