The Book is not a lump of lifeless paper but a mind alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice…and just as the touch of a button on your stereo set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes, and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart.
