Longmans Green and Company, 1957. hardcover. very good: mild shelfwear to boards and spine, toning to paste downs and endpapers, text clean, binding tight. Signed by Frank Laubach (subject of book) on FFEP/good: rubbing, toning, edge and corner wear, NOT clipped ($3.50). 8vo  227pp. from front flap: "Everybody who learns must teach somebody else. If he doesn't I'll kill him!" Smiling at the man's violent goodwill, Laubach was suddenly electrified by his idea. He saw that nothing could be better for a newly literate person than to try sharing his skill with a neighbor. It could fix in the new reader's mind all that he had learned' would give him a feeling of importance and self-respect, and, best of all, would train him in the spirit of sharing. If every learner actually became a teacher, literacy could spread like a prairie fire." #00987.
