It is my belief that for treatises the value is largely in the original publication to which the author gave his full attention and not in the supplements that I believe to be issued by flunkies of the publisher or, at best, students hired by the author. Buy the original; skip the supplement; save your money for more monographs.

It would take a good deal of careful analysis of these supplements to tell how much new material is actually being added. But I am skeptical about that, as well. But even if every little bit is new and really great, that is just a whole lot of money to charge. That’s outrageous.
