Books That Made The Difference What People Told Us by Gordon & Patricia Sabine

Written in 1984. Book has stains on outside cover and back.
Authors Gordon and Patricia Sabine interviewed 1,400 Americans, asking two questions: What book made the greatest difference in your life? What was that difference? Responding were not only celebrities including Studs Terkel and Baroness Maria von Trapp, but every day people like a Dallas doorman and a Southern store clerk. Books often cited included the Bible, classics, biographies, and novels. Books were said to have changed lives by causing readers to switch vocations, enlarge perspectives, deal with tragedy.
