Together with Great Books, a Perpetual Treasure
ON STRIKE UNTIL AMAZON STOPS DELETING FAVORABLE VOTES FROM FANS AND COUNTING NEGATIVE VOTES FROM THOSE WHO HATE THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE BOOK BEING REVIEWED MORE THAN THEY CARE ABOUT THE REVIEW.
I have owned this set for close to thirty years, as well as the Great Books, and while I confess to very rarely digging in to them, I could not be without the combined volumes in my personal library.
This set has The Lessons of History available alone, and I strongly recommend that thin but brilliant volume for those who would partake of the hard-earned wisdom of Will and Ariel Durant without necessarily buying the full collection.
