Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
Finally got around to ordering this. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Glad I finally picked this up.
