I'm a former professor of Latin and Greek who still does a lot of
Latin and Greek in various online venues
(http://bestlatin.blogspot.com) - and a few weeks ago, a high school
teacher of both Latin and Greek whom I know from the LatinTeach
listserv mentioned this book and what a huge impact it had had on him
in college and how he wanted to read it again. The book sounds like
something of great interest to me, too, so we decided to read it
together and to invite others to join in - we're doing that at a Ning
website here - please feel free to join!

When I Googled "jacob klein algebra" (or something like that) this
morning, your YahooGroup was the very first thing that came up in the
search results. I'm looking forward to browsing the archives in order
to see what questions and ideas it will suggest for our own
consideration in reading this book!
