good translation; excellent commentaries,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao Te Ching: A New Approach To: Backward Down the Path (Paperback)
The best part of this book is the commentary that is given for each of the 81 chapters of the tao te ching. This is a very good book for someone unfamiliar with the ttc, who would like explanations of each chapter. The applications sections are also good.
