I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Exactly what I was looking for. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. You can tell why this work has endured. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. A text you study rather than simply read. Solid, if not essential.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. A text you study rather than simply read. Solid, if not essential.
My book club chose this last month. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
