Grabbed this during a weekend order. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm.
Exactly what I was looking for. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Happy enough with the purchase.
Finally got around to ordering this. It's become a regular reference in my practice. A text you study rather than simply read. Great value for what you get.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Great value for what you get.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Well worth it.
Finally got around to ordering this. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A keeper.
