Good quality. Really a classic guide.

A must read for book lovers.

It provides theoretical and pragmatic understanding regarding academic reading of books. Step by step explanation is good to implement in day to day reading. As steps are quite elaborate it requires really serious engagement and time. Superficially it can't be used as for practical purposes.

Sometimes it makes me wonder, why the real education is left on the individuals to study and learn, while the things that we may never be required to use are taught in tons in schools.

Absolutely amazing book that teaches how things are to be read . ->Book is research oriented ->Simple examples to explain the concepts ->Clarity of thought..(why and why nots...) ->A lot of books have been analysed by the author to write this prominent book . -> Let it be any category of book...let it be science...history ...novel ...poetry ...like anything.. The author has written very precisely about how to read them . ->It's like a complete autopsy of what a book is and how to read it ... ->Very minimalistic approach ->The syntopical reading indeed is explained in detail A sophomore would definitely skip the entire book , directly jumping to the syntopical reading.. While a must read book for a young guy ..(14yr age)

The print is ok ok. Seems a pirated reprint.
