Enclosure: [small piece of paper taped to front endpaper] A Century of Detective Stories. Another sidelight on G.K's character. There were several dozen volumes in this series (see other volumes beside this one, and the list inside each). Almost all the volumes are said to be edited by an author well known in the field, but the selection and editing were, in fact, done by the publisher. G.K. stood out, saying 'No that wouldn't be honest; I didn't edit it'. So this volume says merely, 'With an introduction by G.K. Chesterton'.
