Saw this book cover on the series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I like the art on the cover. After playing back some scenes I figured out the author and title. But I can’t find this exact edition. It was probably around 1961 in this scene or the series. Does anyone know which edition this is?

A book about books.

Some of the stories in this anthology I have before read, but most I seem to be unfamiliar with. In any case, I'm here for the iconic Edward Gorey artwork featured on both the jacket and the pages within, and am thrilled to have recently added this book to my personal library.

Finished it recently. My first introduction to gothic romance and easily one of the best books I’ve read so far.

From the back cover:

MEMOIR/PHILOSOPHY/LITERARY STUDIES

Brilliantly surveying centuries of Western thought, Anthony Kronman travels the road to a new and joyful conception of God - one that is not only compatible with our most firmly held modern beliefs but indispensable to them. Drawing on the riches of ancient philosophy and later thinkers from Aquinas to Darwin and Freud, the author leads his readers on a journey away from the creator God of the Abrahamic religions toward a God whose eternal and inexhaustible presence is that of the world itself.

"A big book about the largest of themes-theology and philosophy, science and psychology, ethics and politics, friendship and art. It is above all an attempt to work out a coherent and attractive theology suited to the modern world. It takes up questions of the deepest human importance and is beautifully written. A rich and ambitious work." MICHAEL J. SANDEL, author of What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

"An extraordinary work of scholarship. There is no comparable work of such universal ambition and theological depth." JOSÉ CASANOVA, Georgetown University

ANTHONY T. KRONMAN served as dean of the Yale Law School from 1994 to 2004. He currently divides his time between the Law School and the Directed Studies Program in Yale College. He is the author of Education's End: Why Our Colleges and Universities Have Given Up on the Meaning of Life and The Assault on American Excellence.

I choose to buy second hand for ethnical reasons plus I like the designs of the Penguin Classics c.1960s.

Once I realized there was a set as pretty as these I made sure to acquire it. I still have yet to start my journey to the tower but damn if they aren't cool to look at in the meantime.
