I'm wondering does anyone know if this book was reprinted at all ? It is a book of famous art paintings and quotes apparently by Chesterton . I read of it in Lessons at Blackberry Inn book .
Or is there any book possibly similar to this one ?
Thanks , Rox

Oh!!! I love Chesterton on the arts, Rox! And, I'd never heard of this book...so I immediately went looking for it!

FAMOUS PAINTINGS: SELECTED FROM THE WORLD'S GREAT GALLERIES AND REPRODUCED IN COLOUR; WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY G.K. CHESTERTON AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES; 2 VOLUMES
There are a few available at Amazon, but they look very expensive.

I can't answer your question...but I'm sure glad you asked it and that I now know about this resource!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!

Save your money, Roxie! I was about to hit "buy" and looked for it online. It's in the public domain and you can read it online in various ways, and even download it.
