Solid edition

Finally got around to ordering this. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Still worth having on the shelf.

Solid edition

A friend in my study group recommended this one. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. A text you study rather than simply read. Still worth having on the shelf.
