Very good

Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Some archaic spellings slow things down.

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes.
