Title: An offering of subtle beauty
Review: This edition of 'Tao Te Ching' is and outstanding product both translation-wise and concerning the print & design quality. It is hard to assess the very text, as it is thousands of years old, so I just quickly describe the production. We get quality gloss paper, and a set of stunning b/w photos by J.English which, accompanied by caligraphy by Gia-Fu Feng, keep us focused on the otherworldly, deep meening on the text itself. As for the translation, I have never found any in English comparable to this. Mind you, that my first contact with this translation was through Wikiquote - just goes to show how 'digital media' don't necesarily 'destroy' paper print. As a matter of fact, to experience this book without its paper form is something I can barely imagine, and even if I do, the prospect seems bleak and shallow.Ever thought about reading Tao Te Ching? Try this one.
