Took a chance on this and glad I did. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
Finally got around to ordering this. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Definitely recommend.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. A keeper.
Needed this for my research. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.
