Nice find, I also wonder what it brings new in a topic well covered over the years.

Any comments? You mentioned the first volume a couple of years ago.

Ah, yes. I would rank it as 4 out of 5. Sometimes it's a tough read because of the way some topics were historically developed. Some of the authors summaries (as I remember, first chapter or two, are summaries of the whole book) are also a tough read, but I guess that's because it's hard to summary the chaos that was happening
