Reading this book takes just as much time as reading a single original work contained therein, so if you’re just trying to get the outline of a particular piece, then take the time to read it properly. But, if you want a quick overview of the entire field, it’s not a bad way to go. I have a few of the authors in this book slated for other sections in this division, so it helped me a bit to get to know them before diving right in.
