I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. A text you study rather than simply read. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles.
Added this to my reference shelf. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Recommended with reservations.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Still worth having on the shelf.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Well worth it.
First purchase from this shop. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Great value for what you get.
Finally got around to ordering this. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. One of my better finds this year.
