Title: How to make money on the back of a fashion.
Product review: By using both a big typeface and a wide line-spacing, the author (or his publisher) has managed to bloat the number of the pages in this book to a thin 157.Of those, only 24 are devoted to historical, theological or philological introductions to the texts, all the rest are filled by the translations of the gospels themselves.The part advertised in the title as: "Inside The Da Vinci Code & Holy Blood, Holy Grail" takes exactly three lines; neither those two books nor their authors are even mentioned in the bibliography which almost exclusively lists other translations of the apocryphal gospels, to the well-nigh complete exclusion of works _on_ the apocrypha itself.If you are looking for a work that will explain to you how the apocrypha supports (or not) the works of Baigent and Brown, better read Elaine PagelsThe Gnostic Gospels, or if you prefer a lighter styleThe Complete Idiot's Guide to the Gnostic Gospels.In short, very disapointing.
