Took a chance on this and glad I did. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Was skeptical at first. It's become a regular reference in my practice. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. One of my better finds this year.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
My book club chose this last month. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Good, with the caveats above.
Added this to my reference shelf. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
