Please Mr. Postman

It came it came it came. Oh Joy! Oh Elation! The worn, stained brown edges of the uncut pages feel like history as my fingers flip through them. The crackle of the crisp pages excite me as I know I will be the first to ever read this particular book, even though it was printed in 1911. I don't get excited easily, but this item has me singularly giddy. It is beautiful not just in it's decorative art, but in the unintentional allure that only age can bring to an object. My dear friend Chesterton, I look forward to reading the entertaining wit and acute observations you are so well known for.


My first ever ebay purchase, a first edition printing of GK Chestertons "Five Types".
