C.S. Lewis said The Everlasting Man was the book that baptized his intellect. Have read it several times, I can’t wait to get a beautiful leather bound edition.

Take my money.

Lovely supplement to a History subscription for anyone interested in library building or knowledge preservation. The production quality was expected. So what stands out so far is the quality of selections. The kind of substantial works a knowledge-based library is looking for anyhow. And outside the usual great books checklists, without any pop drivel.

What a way to start 2025. Happily adding this one to my Library, Libraria and History subscriptions. Decorating your walls, preserving the culture and knowledge, and nourishing your soul and mind all at the same time thanks to Castalia!

I never read any of Chesterton's Christian writings growing up, but I thoroughly enjoyed his poetry (e.g "The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road" https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48212/the-rolling-english-road) and his Father Brown detective stories. A masterful writer.

Very cool. Curious about the typeset?

Will it vary from book to book? Thanks

Yes, we have a few particular favorites, but we alter them in order to maximize readability depending upon the physical size of the book.
