There has, in fact, been considerable discussion of the book. There
was a thread beginning March 31 and extending into April of this year
with subject-header: "[B-Greek] Constantine Campbell / Basics of
Verbal Aspect", "[B-Greek] Campbell and Aktionsart".
My own fuller comments on the book, with reference to other on-line
reviews, may be found as an entry in James Spinti's blog at:
