My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. One of my better finds this year.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. One of my better finds this year.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. You can tell why this work has endured. Happy enough with the purchase.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Good, with the caveats above.
