Needed this for my research. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. A text you study rather than simply read.
Added this to my reference shelf. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. The font runs small in the appendices. Happy enough with the purchase.
