Beautiful edition

My book club chose this last month. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Very good

First purchase from this shop. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Good, with the caveats above.
