    • A Thoroughly Interesting Study of the Tao Te Ching

      You get a very readable, enjoyable, believable translation, but also a very interesting exposition of the challenges involved in translating something as old as the Tao Te Ching written in a language as foreign as ancient Chinese that adds some very valuable context. Highly recommended.

    • Damaged copy.

      The book came with chapters upside down. Had to rip it apart and re-glue it to read it properly. Incorrectly described.
