Review title: Little new, but worth having
Product review: If you've already got both of Mencken's Chrestomathies, his Prejudices series, Newspaper Days, Heathen Days, Treatise on the Gods, and The American Language, this book will be mostly gratuitous. Otherwise, it's a good collection of his opinions, and opinionated he certainly was. It also includes his introduction to The American Democrat by James Fenimore Cooper, various magazine articles (including two published just before his stroke), and some previously unpublished letters.The major value in Mencken's writings is that he thought outside of the mainstream. I share his views more often than not, but even when I disagree with him, he makes me think.
