3.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality printing! 16 July 2012
By bmh
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The text in this book looks like it was scanned or photocopied, letters on the same page change size, some are much darker than others and characters have run together in a few places.
A modern printed version would be a more pleasant read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Original Newton is the most interesting 22 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
It is refreshing for a layman to read the original Principia by Newton, and not interpretations. The first explanatory part of the book forms a good supplement to the original text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 13 Jan 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It will be a year or three before I manage to read and understand the contents in detail - my BSc Maths/Physics is proving a bit rusty - but just to own a copy of such a momentous book is enough for now
