Plato And Freud
While efficient it does omit certain things for the shake of originality (?). In a book about medieval thought there is no reference to Occam's razor! and the debate about nominalism and realism is barely touched upon. This maybe the view of an author but when you label your book an introductory volume on a subject you need to be more inclusive and mainstream otherwise you should explicitly mention that your book is about your personal view about the history of western philosophy.
