[...] This set was published between 1959 and 1963 due to demand for an organized program of reading that was lacking in the ''Great Books'' set itself. [...] The editors prepared this set “to provide a way into the ''Great Books'' for readers who would like help in their first reading of them.” Each volume contains fifteen readings that are designed to take a typical adult approximately two weeks to read, understand, and contemplate. Introductory material is provided for each reading and elements that might pose difficulties are highlighted. This material does not attempt to “spoon feed” the reader but does provide useful information to get started. [...] Each reading is supposed to account for two weeks since the goal is not to speed read these selections but to really ''read'' them, perhaps more than once, and then to write about them using prompts that the editors provide.}}</ref>
