Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Already eyeing my next order.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. You can tell why this work has endured. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
My book club chose this last month. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Shipping was quick too.
This edition finally does the material justice. Every rereading turns up something I missed. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.
This exceeded my expectations. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. The font runs small in the appendices. Still worth having on the shelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
