Edwin Curley is professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan and editor and translator of Spinoza's Collected Works.
Stuart Hampshire has taught at University College London, Oxford, Princeton, and Stanford.

    No index, poorly formatted

    Impossible to navigate because it has no index or introductions (as the description in the shop claims) . Not a useful edition--a big disappointment and a waste of money, even if it is less than a dollar!

    Flint by Louis L'amour: Outstanding Western

    Flint is a mind-bending and compelling Western epic or 'Frontier novel'. It is about a man who loses his identity to save himself and others. Flint is an allegory and the characters, places and events stand for themes and motifs. The novel instills hope because the title character overcomes cancer to save himself and his friends. He always thinks of other first and even his enemies respect him.
