Almost perfect

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. A text you study rather than simply read. Recommended with reservations.

This has been on my wishlist for months. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm.
