Everything went smoothly. Got a good quality book, and it arrived on time in good shape.

The unevenness cited by a previous reviewer is this book's great weakness. Those works covered by writers other than the editor get reasonably detailed treatment.

The description says "Virtually every piece composed by Brahms and not sacrificed to his uncompromising critical standards is discussed in this compendium, lucidly, readably, in biographical and cultural context, and in fine detail." The claim "in fine detail" is blatantly untrue.
