Needed this for my research. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Would buy from this store again.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Recommended with reservations.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Solid, if not essential.
