Loving the First Lady's Opinion on "Good Books"


In a recent speech at the AAP annual meeting in New York City, First Lady Laura Bush said, "A nation that does not read for itself cannot think for itself. And a nation that cannot think for itself risks losing both its identity and its freedom. Ray Bradbury was right when he said, 'You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.'"

Well said! This is exactly how we feel here at LJW Publishing. And we hope that we're able to make a difference (no matter how small) in the way consumers view books, thinking, and reading. See the connection?
