Pros & Cons
Pros
This book must be read and reread often in hostile environments. The hard copy has a few errors, but very few, as you would expect in an extremely high-profile work. Hefty price tag, but worth it in my opinion.
Our tendency to view objects as ‘atoms’ has much to do with the ruination of our world. Jephcott is a glenn gould who as a translator went the extra mile just as gould, innocently enough, delivered the essence of the goldberg variations using the grea... Read More
The kritik is translated from chinese to chinglish. Guyer/wood seem to have translated kant to 18thcenturygermanlish. They say it captures the'systematic spirit' of kant's theses, not presenting his theses as scattershot visions.
Cons
It is misleading to group this audible recording with the cambridge cpr. It's not visually suitable for reading on a kindle.

Price
Unbelievable price for such a great work, i am very satisfied with the quality as well as the price.
Hefty price tag, but worth it in my opinion.
Shipping
Shipping was fast and no damage to the book was apparent.
Competitiveness
Perhaps the marketing target is undergraduates who will toss it away after a semester.
Both oxford and cambridge ride altogether too much on their prestige names which they need to back up with quality as well as price.
Although the norman kemp-smith version is a far superior one, the genius of kant still comes through.

The font is small which is understandable but the borderlines of letters are blurry which makes it tiring to read the book on top of its contents
