Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Just wonderful. I have read other Idlers, but this is the best so far. Lovely cloth cover and quality paper pages. Great essays encouraging you to live and to have the courage to let go of the slavish daily slog. Inspiring. Buy it!

The best Idler by far
This is the best edition of The Idler. Past editions have been fragmented and one needed to rummage through each edition to find the good stuff. This one takes the whole concept to a far higher level. It is more joined up and gains focus as a result. The Idler at it's best is entertaining, persuasive and polemical. This delivers on all levels. Not just a good read but a volume one can return to.

Fantastic
Fantastic. Book of essays and conversations to make you think. Good for dipping in and out of. Alternative visions and ideas for childcare, economics, living, health etc .... Contributions from Alain De Botton, Penny Rimbaud, John Mitchinson, Jay Griffiths, Paul Kingsnorth, Oliver James. A beautiful cloth hardback, really enjoyed reading this and it will be one that stays on my bookshelf.
