Go with the Merchant Books Version!! BookReview I think Principles of Mathematics is one of the finest works on the subject out there, however, before I came across the Merchant Books version I was unable to read it. The Norton version has print so ridiculously small it strained my eyes beyond belief. The Merchant Books edition is fantastic, using a good font size where you don't have to endure a headache in reading each page from eye strain.. Russellian with a vengeance ! André Gargoura Russell is undoubtedly a brilliant mind and this sometimes goes with a cryptic expression But here, the "sometimes" turns into "a lot".If you are both patient and ready to skip the convoluted, if not indigestible sections, then you might safely reach the last page of this monumental work.If not, then a better route is to use Russell's later "Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy", where he tried and succeeded in clarifying and correcting his thoughts in just 200 pages. This is not to say that PM doesn't contain illuminating sections, it does but th. Horrible edition When an editor simply republish something out of copyright protection, the only thing he has to do is to copy the pages, all the pages. If he just do that the client will be happy. That editor was incapable of doing that simple thing. Some pages from Bertrand Russell's book are *missing*. This is simply infuriating and absolutely inexcusable. To add insult to injury, the font is so degraded as to make the reading difficult. A double rip-off.
