Almost perfect

This edition finally does the material justice. You can tell why this work has endured. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.

Solid edition

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. A text you study rather than simply read. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Happy enough with the purchase.
