A good emersion into epistomology
This book is great for an overview of the different issues that are dealt with in the study of knowledge. It takes a great sampling of those philosophers that have made a lot of contributions to the field. My only issue with the text is that it only seems to wet your appetite for the material before they move on to the next topic.

A headache to read.
Bought this for school, very difficult to read and retain. Not well organized nor presented.

Defective printing
The typeface is skewed and wavy on almost every page, which makes for some nausea-inducing reading.

Readable, good reference source
I assume most people will be using this as a course text book although it could be used by itself by anyone really interested in epistemology.. The chapters are relatively short, so the subject matter can be fairly easily digested. There are plenty of further references for further investigation
