jazzy_daveRoger Scruton "Spinoza: A Very Short Introduction" (Oxford University Press)
This is a complicated introduction but Spinoza is a complicated philosopher and Scruton I believe does his best to introduce Spinoza's concepts and provide the reader with a solid grasp not only of Spinoza's metaphysical conclusions but also how those conclusions are arrived at.
He was never one that I took to, so I guess, it is my problem that the book was less engaging.
It's quite hard to start with Spinoza so I guess this is as decent a place as any. Good luck if you plan on embarking on that journey.
