Frontispiece, List of Illustrations, Prologue, Theological Appendixes, Sources; xxii, 420 pages. The original gray cloth is excellent, with just a touch of bumping to the spine where brown lettering remains clear. The interior is fresh, crisp, and completely clean. The pictorial dust jacket is unclipped ($4.00) with a few small rubbed spots on the spine. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] There are four sections to this anthology: The Hidden Years, The Public Ministry, From Palm Sunday to Pentecost, To the End of Time. There are forty contributors, ranging from Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton to Sister Stella, Oscar Wilde, the assembler himself, and the inevitable Anonymous. The selections are woven together "so that we may follow our Lord's life in order as He lived it." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
