Summary: A great thinker deserves a great book
Review: The eight volumes of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, published by Harvard University Press, have been one of the most important sources for references on Peirce. But since 1958 - the year Arthur Burks edited the last volume - some other editions became public, complementing the Collected Papers. Surely it demonstrates the increasing academic interest on Peircean works, but at the same time it represents a problem for making unambiguous reference citations on the original manuscripts. Nowadays we need to recognize the efforts of Indiana University's Peirce Edition Project in publishing the complete writings of Peirce in a chronological edition (6 volumes available, 30 projected). It is the most important contribution in recent times to those who are really interested in the writings of Charles Peirce, one of the most important and influential american philosopher.
