Rich but not rich enough

The idea of a Dictionary of the History of Ideas is and was a very good and for some of us exciting one. And this Dictionary contains a good number of long essays of great interest and value. I remember however wishing that there were still more Ideas explored as the Dictionary was by no means exhaustive. Still this is an extremely valuable intellectual tool.

This is a wonderful project which should be back in print!

This is a wonderful project which I think should come back into print, probably in revised form. It's format is the essence of the www "format", that is the interdependence of all things and ideas. In fact, the preface talks about Arthur O. Lovejoy's "The Great Chain of Being" Isn't this what the WWW is about?!" I would appreciate hearing from other enthusiasts!
