The content on imperial reform is certainly interesting and I wished I read this earlier when I was curious about it but never read anything about it.
The fact that Austria only essentially held 30% of territory in the Empire shows how much the HRE relied on discussion than military coercion. It's not a perfect polity but perhaps it's a useful premodern model.

Despite his thematic structure in the early chapters he seems to have decided to pursue a chronological structure regarding governance from the Carolingians to the Habsburgs. Really interesting and perhaps he should have started here instead of with religion and empire.
His discussion of governance is interesting and I would like to explore this more in the context of local governance and wider imperial governance.
