"The aim of this booklet is, by briefly showing the diversity of the tasks undertaken, to survey the multiform but deliberately concerted and co-ordinated activities which, while centred on books as their main theme, none the less converge on the development of man and the fulfilment of his biological and social potentialities." (Introduction, p.8)
