How to Read a Book

I said it was a "light book." I meant that it was much easier than the great and good books you must learn to read. I hope you find it so, and more, that as you learn to read, the heavier reading you once put aside will cease to be burdensome. You will enjoy learning. All books will become light in proportion as you find light in them." Very Good: Book VG-, spine sunned, mild shelf wear to boards and spine, toning to paste downs and endpapers, text clean, binding tight. Item #4479
