In this book, first published by Macmillan in 1977, Mortimer J. Adler, author of ""Ten Philosophical Mistakes"", ""How to Read a Book"" and ""Aristotle for Everybody"", provides a chronicle of more than 50 years of his achievement in the fields of education and publishing. He discusses the development of one of the great publishing ventures of the century - the 54-volume set of ""Great Books of the Western World"" - and he details the planning and production of the 15th edition of the ""Encyclopaedia Britannica"". This book describes the career of a man who sought to bring books to the layman and engage all readers in philosophical thought and debate. It recounts a wide variety of personal and intellectual encounters and ranges from academia to the world of business.
