Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The historical context alone makes it worth the price.
Was skeptical at first. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
I keep coming back to this one. A text you study rather than simply read. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
