Product Description
I cannot understand the people who take literature seriously; but I can love them, and I do. Out of my love I warn them to keep clear of this book. It is a collection of crude and shapeless papers upon current or rather flying subjects; and they must be published pretty much as they stand. They were written, as a rule, at the last moment; they were handed in the moment before it was too late, and I do not think that our commonwealth would have been shaken to its foundations if they had been handed in the moment after. They must go out now, with all their imperfections on their head, or rather on mine; for their vices are too vital to be improved with a blue pencil, or with anything I can think of, except dynamite. -- G.K. Chesterton

Wonderful book!Lovely edition!
This book is a great collection of wonderful newspaper stories of Chesterton, and as reverent today as when written!Enjoy!

This book is perfect!
First, this book is in perfect shape - I think some reviews were of a different edition.

But more important, is this wonderful book!This is a collection of various newspaper columns by Chesterton - thus ``All Things Considered`` - what is also fascinating is the fact that while one expects the wit, charm, humor and intelligence to last the years, (and it does), the issues of the day, while different on the surface, are no different than those in Rome 2000 years ago, or the USA 100 years later, (today).

If you like Chesterton, you`ll love reading one of these columns each night!

This is a great book and PERFECT copy!
I bought this with out looking at the reviews (generally they liked the book and did not like the edition), anyway, I wanted to report back that somehow this has been fixed, as this edition is perfect in every way!Fell good to get it, and read GK's views on everything, as he considers 'all things'.Ok, I'm not witty, but I know a good book when I read it!This is it!

This edition is perfect!
This edition is perfect!For those who were wondering if they would get a poorlymade book based on the only 1 star review, let me assure you that you will not, I received this book without any mistakes, or missing pages, etc.Its a charming and complete edition.

I see that the release date for this edition is after the date the 1 star review was made.

This book has been well reviewed already, and all I can add is this is a real treat for anyone who loves intelligent argument, wit and written brilliance!

Shoddy
All Things Considered

First time I can recall seeing an advertisement masquerading as an "Editorial Review." I cannot abide Kessinger and its mission to re-appropriate books (often mere pamphlets) in the public domain and republish them in shoddy overpriced editions. Wankers. ... Read more
