This has been on my wishlist for months. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Recommended with reservations.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. Every rereading turns up something I missed. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Would buy from this store again.
This edition finally does the material justice. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes.
