A book that repays rereading

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Yes, it's an invaluable resource, and no one is expected to digest everything in the first go round.  Also, btw, I hope the lexical powers-that-be are using their influence to see that the third volume (already prepared and awaiting publication) gets to see the light of day.

I'd read HDAS II with profit and delight when it first came out, but it seems that it didn't completely regisister.
