Great Ideas - Part I

A couple months ago, I saw a review in the Wall Street Journal about a new series that Penguin has put out. I would intrigued because they were small paperbacks of classic works. I got a set of the books in and I think they are marvelous (and have ever seen me use the word marvelous?).

There are 12 books in the series:

This series is one Penguin US imported from their counterparts in the UK. Tomorrow, I am going to post a Q&A with Simon Winder, the UK editor that ushered these to bookshelves.

This series reminds me of the "Little Blue Book" series that Will Durant wrote in the late 20's and early 30's that eventually became the book "The Story of Philosophy" and put Simon & Schuster on the map.
