As a retired elementary school librarian, I appreciate so much what these people did to get books to those who had no books of their own or libraries to go to and brought them the gift of reading....WOW!!! S. Hayes

This is the kind of book we all should read, regardless of age. It is well researched, well annotated and well written. I bought it for my wife, a reading specialist, for Easter, and wound up reading it before she got her hands on it. It would be great to have an older version, filled with more info, etc. For now, however, I'll take what I can get!

This was a new piece of history that sadly, I was not taught in school. I applaud the ladies and gent who were dedicated to bringing literacy to the masses at all cost. The $28 salary opened doors for the care of their families, it was the love of reading and the people that kept them going back day after day. Everyone in education or who just loves a good straight forward look at history MUST read this book.
