I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. The font runs small in the appendices.
Was skeptical at first. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Still worth having on the shelf.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Solid, if not essential.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Glad I finally picked this up.
Finally got around to ordering this. A text you study rather than simply read. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
My book club chose this last month. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading.
