A Spectre, Haunting: On the Communist Manifesto by China Miéville

4.0

I have no prior experience with the Communist Manifesto, and found this to be a very functional introduction. I think it's got good bones; it's a sensible framework he builds his exploration on. I appreciated situating it upon understanding the manifesto as a literary form, and following up with the current context. If you're gonna spend money on getting a copy, get it value-added.

Hope you like references to nostrums, tout court.
