Exactly what I was looking for. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
