This exceeded my expectations. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Solid, if not essential.
