Illuminating a forgotten sage who deserves reconsideration, this is a treasury of Elbert Hubbard's best writing, edited and introduced by Sam Torode. "Elbert Hubbard's writings and his famous experiment in book making at East Aurora made him one of the most interesting American characters of his time. He had a rare faculty of expression and he used it to serve the cause of common sense in this country. "Hubbard demonstrated the power of an idea when conceived by an independent mind and supported by intelligent industry. His Roycroft Shop became a place of pilgrimage to men and women who were interested in handicrafts and who dreamed of a greater idealization of common life. "I visited him at East Aurora and was a reader of his publications from the start. Elbert Hubbard deserves a permanent place in our libraries." --Henry Ford
