Obtained in a cache of free books, prepared to donate to my local hospital's patient library.

Then read two essays:
John Holt's "How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading"
Erich Fromm's "The Nature of Symbolic Language"

Worth keeping for those alone, and once LT's Contained In relationship function is fully supported, should find other essays worth multiple readings.
