Mortimer Adler

"In the case of good books,
the point is not how many of them you can get through,
but rather how many can get through to you."
Mortimer Adler

We are a not-for-profit educational organization, founded by Mortimer Adler and we are Encyclopaedia Britannica’s exclusive agent for these programs.

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 reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost and are now available.

Three hours with Mortimer Adler on one DVD.

For those of you who teach, this is great for the classroom.

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.

Please go here to see a clip and learn more:

This is SO true . . . I find myself racing through good books and have to make myself slow it down. #1 I don't want it to end so quickly #2 I want to get the message and retain it, and #3 A good book is like a good friend; you don't want to say good-bye.
