My book club chose this last month. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Good, with the caveats above.

Beautiful edition

Needed this for my research. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. A text you study rather than simply read. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Solid, if not essential.
