Added this to my reference shelf. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Well worth it.
Exactly what I was looking for. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Good, with the caveats above.
Finally got around to ordering this. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere.

First purchase from this shop. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
