Have you already read Kelly's collected papers at Maher's "Clinical
Psychology and Personality"?
While this may not be a direct answer to your question, I found it a
very interesting experience to become familiarised with Kelly's work by
first reading his papers and, afterwards, taking a look at the two
volumes. In my experience, the "spirit" of PCP is far more alive,
provoking and attractive in the collected papers than in the two
volumes.
Anyway, I guess others in the mailbase will have their favourite "how
did I face the Herculean task of reading two volumes" story!
That reminds me of a Garfield bookmarker I have: "Read the ending
first... life is so uncertain". (Sorry if it's a bad joke).
