Was skeptical at first. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Highly recommend to serious students.
First purchase from this shop. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Definitely recommend.
Finally got around to ordering this. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure.
