Book Review:
Goodwill’s Selected Essays by R.P. Datason appears to be a curated collection of writings published under the banner of Goodwill Publishing House—a publisher known for producing affordable, educational, and morally oriented books. The title suggests a compilation of the author’s thoughts on various subjects, possibly intended for students, general readers, or those preparing for examinations where essay writing is emphasized.

While the exact themes and style are not detailed, books in this series often focus on self-improvement, ethical living, social issues, literary appreciation, or practical guidance in communication. Given the publisher’s catalog—which includes titles on “English Improvement” and similar topics—the essays likely aim to instruct, inspire, or provoke thoughtful reflection in accessible prose.

Without access to the table of contents or sample essays, it is difficult to assess the depth, originality, or contemporary relevance of the writing. This collection may serve well as a supplementary reader for developing writing skills or exploring conventional essay forms, especially in educational contexts where clarity and structure are prioritized.

For collectors of vintage instructional books or readers interested in mid-to-late 20th-century popular essay writing in South Asia, this volume could hold cultural or historical interest. However, those seeking groundbreaking literary essays or contemporary critical thought may need to look elsewhere. A modest, purpose-driven publication typical of its genre and era.
