There is often little to choose between anthologies of works such as these. The book contains no index which is inconvenient and for the purpose of this review does not allow me to check my addition. This volume contains all of the 'Counsels' including the long number 23, about 6 of the sermons and a long chapter, The Book of Divine Consolation, from the book Benedictus. It is for this latter item that one might buy this anthology as the other items appear in most anthologies. The book reads as a straight through paperback without illustrations or other embellishments.
