Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It's become a regular reference in my practice. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Glad I finally picked this up.
My book club chose this last month. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. One of my better finds this year.
Was skeptical at first. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Definitely recommend.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
