Almost perfect

Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.

Finally got around to ordering this. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Recommended with reservations.

Exactly as described

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
