Into the Wardrobe

I thought everybody here would like to know that Lewis's controversy with E.M.W. Tillyard, The Personal Heresy, was just reprinted by Concordia Press.

I pre-ordered my copy and it arrived today. It's a decent paperback with a preface by Joel D. Heck (the editor), an introduction by Bruce Edwards, and an index. I'm very glad to see that this edition has footnotes for the many quotes and various Greek and Latin phrases.

Details can be found here: http://www.concordia.edu/html/newsevent ... ewsID=1013

The ISBN is 9781881848103, but I can't find it available anywhere but through Concordia Press itself.

Wow, that was a good find, Tuke. I've seen it much more expensive than that for a long time. Now if somebody would just reprint a cheap version of Selected Literary Essays and Rehabilitations and Other Essays. And Essays Presented to Charles Williams. And Arthurian Torso. I rather doubt the latter two will ever be reprinted, or at least not any time soon.

Still no sign of the paperback of volume three of the letters, either. I've emailed the publisher twice and gotten no response whatsoever. What will happen, of course, is that I'll break down and buy a hardcover copy (I have paperbacks of the first two volumes), and they'll release the paperback the very next day.

Thanks for the information, repectabiggle. I have a copy of the 1965 reprint, but this looks like a good edition. Is it trade paperback size, or mass market?

I believe you'd call it trade paperback. Mass market are like those little handful copies of Stephen King that you see in line at the grocery store, right? I think it's about 10in by 7in or so? I'm at work, so it isn't in front of me just now.

Right. The 1965 reprint was mass market size. I suspected that a University Press would put it out as a TPB.

Oh, excellent. Thank you, Karen.

I actually paid the high cost for a hardcover reprint of Rehabilitations and Other Essays. Haven't yet worked up the nerve to suggest to my wife that I spend that much again on Selected Literary Essays.
