“Getting this magnificent tome has been quite a quest. I first read about it in Gina Cerminara's book in a footnaote: then it took me eleven years until I had a chance to read it from a library...and then it took me seven more years until I had my own copy. Amazing! The sheer mathematics of it makes it quite dense, and unless I had received help from able commentators on it like Hayakawa and Lee, my admiration of it would have remained incomplete.”
