Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
This edition finally does the material justice. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Solid, if not essential.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Glad I finally picked this up.
