Tao Te Ching: Gilded Pocket Edition (Arcturus Ornate Classics)

No matter what religion one has chosen, this is a classic addition to any collection. I had bought this in my 20's and either lost it or gave it away. But I bought this book again because it has such sound advice/ideas. This would make a nice gift to give your friends.

I love the book. The quality, the translations, everything. After deciding to convert to Taoism around a year and a half ago, I decided it’s time to stop reading scriptures on internet pdfs.The book is high quality, and as a native english speaker, it’s broken down perfectly for me to understand. However, it came with a bent page. It was folded in half, and although nothing else is wrong with it, I was a little sad. Nonetheless, it’s not that big of a deal, and it could be worse.

I am an obsessive collector of translations of the Tao Te Ching. This is my favorite translation to give to people who are new to Taoist texts. The translation is less cryptic than others, has a simple flow and honors the spirit of the work.It has lovely pictures throughout, "gold" leaf on the side, and is a nice size for carrying around.I buy it in packs of 3 and hand them out as last minute birthday or parting gifts.Thank you Lao Tzu! May we all rest in the embrace of the Tao as it transforms us into what is useful.

This is a beautiful little book with beautiful illustrations and gilt page edges. It is small: 4" x 6.5". Perfect size to slip into your purse or bag or back pocket. For the few extra dollars, it is worth getting this hardbound version that is clearly made with such care and craft.

Really good quality, perfect size not too big or small. Pretty gold pages.Love this for daily reading, makes it feel special and like you want to have it out and at hand!

Nothing comes close to Lao Tzu’s wisdom. This book celebrates the way, not the destination. There’s no easy fallback construct like God. At the same time it provokes wonder and inspires to keep rising. A definition of Masterpiece.

Have not gotten to read it yet but it looks beautiful!

Very nice book made well great read definitely worth the money.
