Exactly the kind of subject -- and handsome publishing -- that sucks me right in, and, unfortunately, exactly the kind of academic writing that undoes me. Nothing wrong with it, you understand, and no doubt full of fascination for the scholar, but narrative prose so dull as to still smell of the lecture hall, dusty slides, and peer-review. Bless him, but no, not for the lay reader.
