How to pay four times the price for what book is worth.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simple Guide to Theravada Buddhism (World Religion Series) (Paperback)
This book on Theravada Buddhism was obviously written by remnant hippies from the 1960's. Anything stated within it can be gleaned from a hundred other sources on the subject matter which is probably what they did, and then decided to market it at the outrageous price of $37 in order to support whatever lifestyle they might have. The marketing blurb for the book is probably worth more than the book itself which should retail for around $8.
Here are the names of three other texts on Theravada Buddhism which are worth every cent of their purchase price, and each of which are priced well below $25. "What the Buddha Taught" by Walpola Rahula. "Theravada Buddhism" by Richard Gombrich. "Love and Sympathy in Theravada Buddhism" by Harvey B. Aronson. Incidentally, the Aronson text retails for $12. |
