Favorite Mahamudra book,

This review is from: Lamp of Mahamudra: The Immaculate Lamp that Perfectly and Fully Illuminates the Meaning of Mahamudra, the Essence of all Phenomena (Paperback)
Great little book on Mahamudra--my favorite one. I read it a long time ago; it succeeded in getting me seriously interested in Mahamudra. It amazes me how sometimes so much can be said in a very short space while other times (and authors) can say so little in a very large space! This one is short and sweet.

This review is from: Lamp of Mahamudra: The Immaculate Lamp that Perfectly and Fully Illuminates the Meaning of Mahamudra, the Essence of all Phenomena (Paperback)
The 'Lamp of Mahamudra' provides a short and pithy introduction to Essence Mahamudra, a meditation practice that traces its origin to Saraha and Maitripa. Dzogchen Trekcho and Essence Mahamudra offer the clearest and most accessible paths to enlightenment that one is likely to encounter in this dark age of materialism. There are good teachers available for both traditions, but if you find yourself unable to meet one, you can do no better than to avail yourself of the works of Tsele Natsok Rangdrol.There are five in translation:

There are dozens of great books in publication, and they will eventually lead you to a living guru. Emaho!
