Title: Great Book, Lousy Edition
Review: Chesterton's Everlasting Man is my favorite book. Its writing and argument are superb. Read Surprised By Joy, and you will learn how Everlasting Man was the crucial intellectual piece bringing C.S. Lewis back to Christianity. If you are a fan of C.S. Lewis's apologetics, read Chesterton and "go up higher and in!"I can read virtually any passage aloud at random and be delighted.Chesterton's masterpiece is "five stars plus;" this edition is a problem. Extremely inexpensive, it suffers from lack of editing. I suspect it was scanned without a fastidious proofreading. While the publisher's goals are praiseworthy (to make an edition so inexpensive, more Evangelicals would read it), the errors mar the work and reduce the reader's confidence in the text.Ignatius has a nice edition that is not much more expensive.Does anyone know of an edition with a good index? Is there an edition of Surprised by Joy with an index?
Is the review positive or negative?
