from Penguin Classics
Price: $12.80

Customer Review:
James Boswell--to use a contemporary idiom-- had a mancrush on Samuel Johnson. He wrote this lengthy portrait of his hero--and it's magnificent. This is a vastly entertaining read.

from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press
Price: $14.97

Customer Review:

The Oxford Anthology has twice as many of his essays, the Preface to... more info

Customer Review:
Admirers of Samuel Johnson--of whom I am one--tend to think of him as a sort of personal friend. We delight in his company, and gather around him as though we were modern-day members of his Club.
