Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. You can tell why this work has endured. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
I keep coming back to this one. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Great value for what you get.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Good, with the caveats above.
