Given the enormous wealth of results it contains … . It is clearly a labor of love, and if the subject has any chance of gaining readers, then this book is its best chance, given not only the care with which everything is presented, in a self-contained manner, but also the wealth of stunning multi-colored figures of the highest quality.” (Victor V.
