Book Reviews of The Principia (Great Minds)
Book Review: Poor Quality Rendition of Newton's Masterpiece
Summary: 2 Stars
I can hardly believe Hawking lent his credibility to this edition. Although his motivation of getting people to read classics is great, this edition barely contains any Hawking commentary, is riddled with errors and omissions, and fell apart after just a couple of months of use. Buy the Green Lion or the big Blue edition instead!
