From the reviews:
"To call this work encyclopedic would not give an accurate picture of
its content and style. Some parts read like a textbook, but others are
more technical and contain relatively new results. ... The exposition is
robust and explicit, as one has come to expect of the Russian tradition
of mathematical writing. The set when completed will be an invaluable
source of information and reference in this ever-expanding field"
