Let me quote the first paragraph from the introduction:

"The works in this set are outstanding creations of the human mind, but they are not of the same order as the works included in Great Books of the Western World. They consist of short stories, plays, essays, scientific papers, speeches, or letters; and in some cases they are relatively short selections from much larger works. In contrast, Great Books of the Western World generally contains whole books or extensive collections of books."

This PDF set appears to be professionally made. As I more closely examine it, it may have been produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. [as a legitimate PDF].

Robert M. Hutchins and Mortimer J. Adler are the Editors in Chief. Clifton Fadiman is the Associate Editor.

Not to derail this thread, but I'm also a big fan of the Harvard Classics and own 3 different ebook sets.
