I have volume 1 & 2 in loose leaf format (for Franklin Covey Planners). A search on Amazon found that they can still be had at reasonable price.

Volume 1 TOC
Library 1: Business and Leadership
Library 2: Personal Effectiveness
Library 3: Quotes & Anecdotes
Library 4: Biographies
Library 5: Literary Classics with 13 sections having 5 books in each section
Library 6: Modern Literature with only 4 sections with 5 books each
Library 7: Health & Fitness
Library 8: Word Power
Library 9: Expanding Knowledge

In volume 1, each Library is numbered separately. In volume 2, page numbers go from 1 to 626.

Volume 2 TOC
Page What
1 Library 1; Drama through the ages
69 Library 2: Literary Masterpieces
233 Library 3: Poets & Poetry
291 Library 4: World Religions
367 Library 5: Westers Philosophy...An Overview
431 Library 6: Reaching & Understanding
501 Library 7: More Quotes & Anecdotes
567 Library 8: More Trivia to Learn By

Having had these volumes a couple of decades, I found them to be quick references to understanding an author's viewpoint. It's time to look at them again.

I have two of these volumes. They're filled with 1-2 page summaries of all the classics and more recent books also.

A great "browsing" guide when you're looking for a new book to read.
