Ignatius Press has taken on the commendable task of publishing as books everything that Chesterton put into print, including newspaper articles that have been almost impossible to obtain for almost a century. Their series is far too extensive to list here and is constantly growing. Go to Ignatius Press and search for books by "Chesterton" for a complete list. (You can also search for the original title. Typically, they've combined two or three Chesterton books into one volume.) You can also search on Amazon.com for "collected works of G. K. Chesterton," but be warned that another publisher is using that same title for their expensive 'library' editions. If it's Ignatius the price will be reasonable. If the book is priced close to $100, it's not Ignatius.
