A treasure

Was skeptical at first. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Would buy from this store again.

Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.

Solid edition

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
