Description: Chesterton, G[ilbert]. K[eith]. The Outline of Sanity. New York: Dodd, Mead, & Company, 1927. 8vo., original orange cloth with black cloth spine. 259 pp. First American edition, first printing with no statement of printing on the copyright page. Wonderful, if not the ultimate, collector's copy of this landmark work, Chesterton's greatest statement on his Catholic economy theory, Distributism. Herein Chesterton argues for the centrality of the family in economic life, for the need for widespread property ownership, and against monopoly. A cry for sanity in an insane that resounds with many during these troubled times. Fine in near fine jacket. An essentially pristine and unread copy. Original owner's bookplate to the pastedown, jacket spine darkened with two minute cracks at the crown. Numerous uncut leaves. A nicer copy likely does not exist. Additional photos happily supplied upon request. All inquires will receive a prompt reply. See my other listings for a broad selection of quality books and other printed materials. Check my feedback. You will not be disappointed.
