- p***j (602)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis is a beautifully bound book on quality paper. The plates and illustrations are excellent, and the presentation of the material is top-notch. The introduction was well-written and helpful for understanding the background of the text. Yes, it is expensive, but it is worth the cost and a great addition to anyone's library. If you are interested in the origin and evolution of the Faust legend, this is a required text. I recommend it without reservation.
