I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It's become a regular reference in my practice. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Exactly what I was looking for. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Five stars from me.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
This edition finally does the material justice. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A keeper.
