I keep coming back to this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The font runs small in the appendices. Happy enough with the purchase.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. A text you study rather than simply read. Would buy from this store again.
This edition finally does the material justice. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. A text you study rather than simply read. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
