The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas

There are far too many ellipses in this book for my taste. The author/complier who was trying to convey Gandhi's ideas literally cobbled together quotes throughout the entire book. Having several sets of ellipses in just about every sentence was ridiculous. It leaves you wondering whether or not the quotes are being used in the proper context.
The author did provide fastidious footnotes for the quotes, but I really wouldn't want to have to check that many sources by hand. The reason I purchased this book was that I wanted a good general overview of Gandhi's life and the ideas he espoused.
Considering how fragmented and repetitive the book seemed, a better result could've been reached in essay format in about 10 pages.
