Are you a big fan of Ron Gross? His Peak Learning is still my all-time favorite book on lifelong learning. I think the first edition is best, maybe it's the feel of the paper. The revised edition is printed on a much rougher textured paper. There seems to be no accounting for what draws us to certain books.
Did you know that you can now download a pdf of The Independent Scholar's Handbook? It's available on the website for the Canadian Academy of Independent Scholars, based at Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies, Vancouver, B.C. Go to the download page for the Digital re-issue of The Independent Scholar's Handbook.
On this page you'll also find the foreword to the digital edition. Among other things, he says, "They share my hope that the information in these pages may give fresh heart, hope, and help to all who pursue knowledge and understanding in whatever field."
And success to all lifelong learners everywhere!
