'an excellent book: clearly written and packed full of
interesting ideas and arguments.' -- J.R.G. Williams, Mind

'Both a sharply written introduction to the philosophical
logic of vagueness and a persuasive defence of Smith's
favoured theory.'  -- David Ripley, Analysis

'one of the most important contributions on vagueness in the
last ten years, and for years to come ...  profound and
original ...  succeeds in promoting a new and inspiring
conception of vagueness.'  -- Paul Egre, Australasian
Journal of Philosophy

'a very significant and important contribution to the
debate.'  -- Dominic Hyde, Bulletin of Symbolic Logic

'The book is clear, focussed, technically deft, and has
impressive vision ...  a must-read.'  -- Graham Priest,
History and Philosophy of Logic

'brimming with philosophical insight and formal niceties.
It deserves to, and surely will, generate much discussion.'
-- John Collins, Philosophical Quarterly

'required reading for anyone working on the logic and
semantics of vagueness.'  -- Roy Cook, Theoria

'There can be no doubt that it is a 'must read' for anyone
engaged or just seriously interested in the debate on
reasoning in face of vagueness.  Moreover, I am convinced
that the book is accessible and useful also to newcomers to
the topic.'  -- Christian G. Fermuller, Australasian Journal
of Logic
