This edition finally does the material justice. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A text you study rather than simply read. A keeper.
Exactly what I was looking for. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Solid, if not essential.
