The Art of Thinking--Helen Debalzo Green (LCCC Adjunct Reference Librarian)

The Art of Thinking by Charles Dimnet was an awakening for me. At the time I was an impressionable adolescent who read voraciously. A teacher that I admired quoted from this book, and when I inquired further, she gave me the page that the quote came from (I was fortunate to have brilliantly educated teachers). Talk about being impressed! But was she right? So what did I do? I biked to the library and presented the information to the librarian. She disappeared briefly and returned with the book. Together we looked up the quote and, voila, it was written out on the given page exactly as cited. After all of this effort the book was borrowed and it was read. It so influenced me that after all of these years and all of my reading it was the title that immediately came to mind. The best news of all is that we have a well worn copy of this title in our present collection!
