My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Would buy from this store again.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. You can tell why this work has endured. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
