Epistemology: An Anthology
W**.
Longer than one might expect.
I did a rough calculation, and determined the word count of this megalith to be ~716,000 words (not including reference pages and notes). If you were to print this book with the same font size and page size of that used to print the Harry Potter books, this book would be ~3000 pages long.Do with this information what you will.

A must read for wisdom seekers.
Great anthology. Some essays are missing. But, over all comprehensive.

Challenges Traditional Thinking
Purchased with another account, so far I like this book because it challenges some of the "classic" works of Epistemology, which we often wrongly assume are somehow flawless in their reasoning and their underlying assumptions. Great food for thought.

WOW!
This stunning collection puts the competition far enough in the shade as to almost disappear. Such venerable standards as Bernecker and Dretske's "Knowledge" are simply rendered obsolete by this comprehensive, deeply thought, and far-reaching tome. If you are in any way involved in The Philosophic Project or a philosophic project, this massive volume is sine qua non.

Philosophy Textbook
Not easy material and not a lot of insightful commentary. This is the textbook a survey course in Epistomology - Phil 122 Berkeley Fall 2013. I can't imagine anyone reading it outside of a class or getting much out of it if they did.

difficult and useless
The most horrible book about epistemology. Impossible to decipher. No practical use what so ever. I'm burning it. I may post a picture of its ashes.

This anthology is accessible to someone who hasn't formally studied philosophy
I have a general interest in philosophy and bought this becuase it contains most of the papers discussed in a general introduction to epistomology I bought to get me started. This anthology was in my local university book shop so I guessed it was used in the undergraduate course in philosophy.It covers all the expected topics - skepticism, justification, what is knowledge, the value of knowledge, as well as having a section on memory and perception. The editors provide clear and not-too-technical commentaries on each section/paper. One month post-purchase, I feel I have understood the papers on skepticism (the first section) - although it was hard work and the internet helped along with my introductory text (mentioned above). Rewarding.
