Here is a summary of How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading: https://blog.12min.com/how-to-read-a-... At the bottom of the page you can get the summary as a PDF, but you have to enter an email address.

It's quite a good summary.

Here is the text of the 1966 special edition of How to Read a Book (version 1.1?) read out loud by a computer, with the text shown in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYgQf...

Here is an interview with one of the two authors of How to Read a Book, Mortimer J. Adler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK3m9...

Toward the end of the clip Adler talks directly about the necessity to read books that are beyond you. Which is what HTRAB is about.
