Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Solid, if not essential.
My book club chose this last month. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. A text you study rather than simply read. Glad I finally picked this up.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
