Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A fascinating and eclectic anthology of writings from diverse
times, places, and cultures - from ancient Rome and China to
present-day America - spanning many genres, including short
fiction, essays, poetry, letters, and history. And the authors all
share one trait: their initials are "S.G."
An anthology must have a theme. So what happens when the theme is
essentially meaningless? The anthology becomes a game to play, and
a puzzle to solve. A scavenger hunt and jigsaw puzzle, with the
pieces scattered all over the world, and the final picture unknown
until it is finished. An adventure of discovery for both the
anthologist and the reader.
These are all short works, or short excerpts from longer works,
compiled and edited by Sean Gleeson, with a brief introduction to
each piece. Here are some of the great reads you'll discover: The
incredible Stephen Glass story "Hack Heaven" as seen in the movie
"Shattered Glass." The scandalous article that destroyed Glass's
career, and marked the ascendancy of online journalism. The funny
short story "Freckles M'Grath" by Susan Glaspell. "Why You Can't
Have Saint Paul's Head," an actual letter written in 594 A.D. from
Saint Gregory to Empress Constantina explaining, well, why she
can't have Saint Paul's head. "No More unto My Thoughts Appear" by
Cavalier poet Sidney Godolphin. "Penmanship Wisdom" by Sun Guoting,
excerpted from his preface to his "Treatise on Calligraphy." The
famous essay "What Does Labor Want?" by Samuel Gompers, founder of
the American Federation of Labor. "Deeds of Erik Shrewd-Spoken" by
Saxo Grammaticus, entertaining tales of a crafty hero excerpted
from Volume Five of his "Deeds of the Danes." "Hotel and Tea-House
Girls of Japan" by Sidney Gulick, excerpted from his book "Working
Women of Japan." The science fiction short story "Breakaway" by
Stanley Gimble. "The Camel and the Thief" by Sarath Ghosh, a
detective story excerpted from his book "The Wonders of the
Jungle." "Leo Learns His Lesson" by Sean Gleeson, in which a man
wishes for a world without beer.
This is a quality print edition, with great care taken to ensure a
gorgeous and error-free book.
