Beautiful book, not the actual epic poem, very heavy weight
Beautiful book. Be warned, it doesn't have the actual Mahabharata; it's a guide. But it's beautiful, full of lavish and helpful illustrations, and describes the contents of the epic very well. You can use it to jump to a book or section and know what's going on. Be warned, this book is physically HEAVY. I did not expect it to weigh so much!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
