Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.

Almost perfect

This edition finally does the material justice. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. It's become a regular reference in my practice. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.

Excellent find

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Already eyeing my next order.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. A keeper.
