This book is complete and in great condition. There is light surface wear and a few black spots on the cover. There is a small tear at the bottom of the spine, revealing the inner spine. The pages are in good shape. There are a few pages with translation notes over some of the words. There is a book exchange label and a name written inside of the front cover. Overall this is a complete, nice looking copy that is ready for another read.
From the Preface: "Good reading is more readily acquired by practice than by precept. The more children read, they will read the more fluently, intelligently, and gracefully; and children can only be induced to read much by giving them subjects to read about, in which they will naturally feel interested, and by so treating these subjects as to render them attractive. It is with special reference to this principle, both as regard matter and style, that the Reading-Books in this Series have been prepared. The lessons are designed so to interest young people as to induce them to read, not as task-work merely, but for the pleasure of the thing. They avoid as much as possible the dull solidity which so much tends to make school hours a weariness to the young."
This vintage book would make a great collectible or could be put to great use in your scrapbook, collage, altered art, card or mixed media projects.

Writers & Readers: Wordly

Writers & Readers: gatherings for everybody who loves language and ideas.
Wordly was an investigation of the structural and sometimes obsessive relationship writers have to language. Ammon Shea talked about reading the entire OED (all 22,000 pages of it!); Michael Erard read from Um... and from his new work on language superlearners.
