great book..not like any other guide to Classics
While there are many "guides" to the Classics out there, this one is one of my husband and my favorites; I am a graduate of St. John's College (MA in Great Books) and my husband had one of the authors (Louise Cowan) for undergrad...

I find the questions to be more substantive and the resources to be more carefully researched than in other "guides" that I have read.
