This anthology is accessible to someone who hasn't formally studied philosophy
I have a general interest in philosophy and bought this becuase it contains most of the papers discussed in a general introduction to epistomology I bought to get me started. This anthology was in my local university book shop so I guessed it was used in the undergraduate course in philosophy.It covers all the expected topics - skepticism, justification, what is knowledge, the value of knowledge, as well as having a section on memory and perception. The editors provide clear and not-too-technical commentaries on each section/paper. One month post-purchase, I feel I have understood the papers on skepticism (the first section) - although it was hard work and the internet helped along with my introductory text (mentioned above). Rewarding.

Longer than one might expect.
I did a rough calculation, and determined the word count of this megalith to be ~716,000 words (not including reference pages and notes). If you were to print this book with the same font size and page size of that used to print the Harry Potter books, this book would be ~3000 pages long.Do with this information what you will.
