The Book of Prefaces: A Short History of Literate Thought in Words by Great Writers of Four Nations from the 7th to the 20th Century, by Alasdair Gray

grubstlodger's review against another edition

5.0

This is a beautifully designed book with a fascinating range of prefaces.

The glosses and analyses by the author strongly reveal his prejudices and are entertaining to read as well as providing a place to start your own thoughts on the piece, even if that place is one of disagreement.
