The Jack and Mary McCall DVD Library

Over 3000 Titles to use in Paideia Seminars
 
According to legend, the fabled Library at Alexandria may well have contained half a million scrolls, including many texts from ancient Greece that are now lost. When it was burned in antiquity under mysterious circumstances, its loss was a cultural and intellectual tragedy of immense proportions. When Jack McCall first saw the over 3400 books, paintings, maps, photographs, and musical compositions contained in this computerized library, he gasped and immediately said, “It’s like having the Library at Alexandria at your fingertips.!”

With the help and sponsorship of Jack and his wife Mary, the National Paideia Center and VitalSource Technologies of Raleigh, North Carolina are pleased to offer you this incredible collection of texts (including, for example, all of Shakespeare’s plays). Order today and open the doors to your own library of seminar texts, as immediate and accessible as your own desktop.
