Grabbed this during a weekend order. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Shipping was quick too.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Already eyeing my next order.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way.
