Exactly what I was looking for. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
Exactly what I was looking for. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. One of my better finds this year.
Finally got around to ordering this. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Definitely recommend.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. A text you study rather than simply read. Would buy from this store again.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Definitely recommend.
Was skeptical at first. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
