If these are four books you have meant to read, by all means send the attached order form. Now is the only time this year that the TIME READING PROGRAM will send them to you for just 25 cents each. The point of this offer is to prove that one can regain lost literary ground with the simple and sensible TIME READING PROGRAM. This is a much-praised book distribution plan that offers readers the most worthwhile books of modern times--without demanding that you buy any particular number of volumes. The titles made available to you are a diverse mix of everything which interests perceptive adults -- fiction, biography, philosophy, humor, social science, travel, biology, belles lettres. Offerings include Nabokov's [[italics: Bend Sinister,] Dylan Thomas' italics: The Doctor and the Devils, Jenkins' italics: Elizabeth the Great, Joyce's [[italics: A Portrait of the Artist,] Mencken's italics: In Defense of Women, von Frisch's italics: Man and the Living World. Permanence, readability and intellectual enrichment are the criteria which guide the editors of TIME in their selection. They preface each book and place it in its context as a classic. An authority in the book's field is commissioned to write an introduction which encapsules the book's purpose, background and import.
