Title: worth every nickel. . . even if it is a laser print !!!
Review: According to the publisher's colophon, this edition is a digital reprint and it shows!! You'd think for $150 they could give us real ink. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the price. This work is invaluable. However, THE TEXT IS RIDDLED WITH ERRORS. There are missing particles, punctuation errors, and a host of other typos. The bold italics are inconsistent and there is at least one passage of the root text that is just plain garbled. A scholar with a reputation like Stephen Hodge should have his work proofread BEFORE it goes to press. The "Mahavairocana Tantra" is clearly not for the tenderfoot, but one should be able to read this text without always having to wonder: "is that another typo or did the author really mean to say that." Unfortunately, the sloppy presentation does not inspire confidence in the translation.
Is the review positive or negative?
