Annotated version of Marx's Capital?

[Spirit of Spartacus]

I found this annotated version of Marx's Capital. The guy basically explains it almost sentence-by-sentence.

Do you think this should be used as a reference work when studying Capital?

I see two potential problems...

First, this guy uses his own translation from the German. He presents the German and English text side-by-side, but still, its his own translation.

Note that this translation is different from the one we see in the marxists.org version of Capital (that version was edited by Engels himself!)

Second, this guy is providing detailed explanations based on his own understanding of Kapital.

Wouldn't it be a bad idea for first-time readers to be influenced by one particular strand of thought?



So basically, this question is directed towards those members who have actually read Capital volume 1 and "understand" it.

Do you think this annotated version is a good thing to use?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If you want to study Das Kapital, get a notebook and completely rewrite in your own words, sentence by sentence, the first six or so chapters.

There is really nothing better than that if you want to know Das Kapital forward and back.

Of course, don't limit yourself to reading the first six chapters alone, read all of it. The first six chapters are simply the most difficult in the entire book.

I'm already doing that.

I wanted to know how useful this thingy is for say...a reference text?
