It has a fairly large appendix (~70 pgs) of recommended reading and sample tests/examples at the end of the book. It also has several sections on reading subject specific matter i.e. How to read History, Philosophy, Science, Practical books, etc. It also covers agreeing or disagreeing with an author, fairly criticizing a book, aids to reading.
I think reading strategies may have been too narrow a choice of words. It really covers the “Art of Reading”. A good set of English classes would probably cover similar ground, although I didn’t see anything like this in my high school or undergraduate education.
It looks interesting, but I am surprised it’s 400 pages long, is there really that much in the way of reading strategies?
