Synopsis
Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book., Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well.

Then the item arrived..As a collector, condition means a lot esp when I’m sold brand new. For a collectable, this was the worst packaging I’ve come across in awhile. The entire book was bent, forming a U shape. Besides that, the front and back cover are creased in several places. Asked for a return and sent photos, got offered a dollar refund instead. SHOP ELSEWHEREReply from: fredsrelics- Feedback replied to by seller fredsrelics.- Feedback replied to by seller fredsrelics.Thanks for sharing your experience. Your book was shipped in protective cardboard, in the condition described in the listing. As you said in your request, you were not able to provide images that showed any damage. The images you later shared in the feedback were not provided in the refund request and may be a result of damage after receipt. That all said, YOU RECEIVED A FULL REFUND. Not sure why you are so upset but I wish you the best in your future eBay experiences. Have a great day!

Fred's Relics came through for me with flying colors. Loved the price and arrived in condition as described and in a timely manner. Also glad to see this seller reuse packing materials already on hand rather than unnecessarily spend money on "new" packaging.
