Customer Reviews

Great condition

I returned this book because the class I ordered didn't meet, but I was impressed with the quality. I will use this seller again.

Solid reference work

For those of us who have witnessed Professor Greetham at one of his "postmodern" lectures (such as this year at Kalamazoo), this book is a positive surprise. It is just a solid reference work which covers all the aspects of textual scholarship concisely and reliably, albeit often quite briefly. The volume includes a good, extensive bibliography. To be recommended.
