Now, as someone with a Greek vocabulary of approximately 30 words, I find that this is a very intimidating book. All of the notes are in Latin, which I understand moderately well, and all of the text is in Greek, which I don't. Additionally, the font this book is typed in maked lower case theta look slightly like an upside-down delta until I realized what it actually was.

But, for someone with a high degree of confidence in Greek and Latin, this is an excellent text. It doesn't have unnecessary notes lining the bottoms of every page (As far as I can tell, they're just variants that different editors or copyists have published.)Other than the business with theta and possibly an issue with digammas (I haven't come across any yet, so I can't be sure), the text is clear and easy to read, with plenty of punctuation.

I give this two thumbs up, and will probably purchase a copy for myself once I've got more experience with the language.
