Calvin's Institutes, Battles edition

I've begun working through John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion again for a reading group at Park Hill Presbyterian Church. We're using the translation prepared by Ford Lewis Battles for the Library of Christian Classics. I must say, it's a delight to read: nice large print, paper of appropriate thickness (print doesn't bleed through, but each of the two volumes can be comfortably held in one hand or fit easily into backpack or briefcase), and footnotes at the bottom of the page they way they were meant to be (a creation ordinance, don't you know).

The content's not bad, either.
