Grabbed this during a weekend order. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. 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 has been on my wishlist for months. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Great value for what you get.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. A text you study rather than simply read. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
