In Θ10, Aristotle seems to imply that 'being in the strictest sense true' and 'being in the strictest sense false' hold of objects, ...But I don't see that implication, or suggestion, in Aristotle's text. I wish Coope had discussed that in her review. (No, I don't yet have Crivelli's book! Does anyone know what his arguments are?)

One can gain access to much of this book at: http://print.google.com/print (Just search for Paolo Crivelli.) I think that to search for THETA 10, one should search for the following: €) 10. This is not to say that explication by someone who has the physical book is not ideal, but I just wanted to point out that very much of this book and many other scholarly books in ancient phil are available on Google now (at least for searching).
This is astonishing. I had no idea the Google project was so far advanced. Thanks for the tip.
It turns out that from Google Print one can read the first three but not the final page of Appendix 1, which is where Crivelli deals with the relevant issues of textual criticism and interpretation of Theta 10. Apparently, in order to keep the copyright meaningful, the program enforces a limit as to how many consecutive pages may be viewed.
But then I wonder about the utility of the service. It seems to be simply a means of confirming more accurately that one would want to inspect a particular book. Is it no more than a glorified book-selling device?
I now have Crivelli's book, and what I'm finding most interesting, and will post on, are his arguments for 'states of affairs' in Aristotle.
