I got the book on amazon very cheaply. Its really a fantastic book (alongside yours, of course). The introduction is great and talks about Fr Sidney's love of scholarship, books themselves, and even his love of the "tools of scholarship" like fresh notebooks and pens that line pharmacy shelves. Young even gives a detailed description of his office at CUA, a description that makes envy the books in his office. Prof. Young's chapter is great and even discusses Philoxenus of Mabbug, who is so often neglected these days. Its a handsome volume, to be sure. Mike. I got the book on amazon very cheaply.
