Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture

Rare book - particularly in new condition - listed at a reasonable price, which included postage. Packaged fairly securely - and arrived in perfect condition. Happy to have found a copy - and with the order overall.

I wasn't too impressed with no reply to my messages after a delay in posting item but am happy it arrived in time for Christmas. Item is great as described although a bit pricey at 3x what it cost in store. Thankyou

  • Heavy reading

    I read this book originally about 11-12 years ago and although it was enjoyable, a lot of it seemed to go over my head. The zazen instruction is very well explained and I see now that much of the difficulty is do to the non-explainable nature of zen. While re-reading this book a decade later I found much more meaning and appreciation.

  • inexpensive, but delivering slowly

    I bought the book three weeks ago. I really like the book and impressed because it is very new, and it is very neat. The price is inexpensive. But, the delivering is slowly,just spending couple weeks after I purchased.Except this there is nothing what I dislike. Overall, I'd recommend the book if you're on a budget.
