Looking for opinions from anyone who has read The Meaning of Relativity. I
collect books in fine bindings for my home library and found a very nice
copy of The Meaning of Relativity on eBay below, but was wondering if a
non-scientist would find it interesting. Or is it a bit too technical? If
it's an interesting read, I think I'll bid on it.

Although not as techincal as Weyl's "Space-Time-Matter" , it is a classic of

popularization of mathematical physics.
Einstein knew that he had to put in the Mathematics, too.
My copy is full of a lot of margin notes!
