Finally got around to ordering this. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Would buy from this store again.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Shipping was quick too.
This exceeded my expectations. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Great value for what you get.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Solid, if not essential.
This has been on my wishlist for months. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Solid, if not essential.
