The Questions of King Milinda: Part 1 & 2 (Forgotten Books)

Hi, All.I always check customer reviews on obscure or rare books and so I figured I'd write one to help those who are thinking about making a purchase. The amount of bad publishers out there is vile and so I always appreciate a heads-up from a fellow reader on a poorly edited version of a text.I won't comment on the actual content of this book because if you are considering ordering it then you must know what it's about and why you want to read it. I'll simply say something about the actual layout and text. This version of "The Questions of King Milinda" is in fairly good order. There are little to no typos or errors. The actual layout and font type seem a bit pedestrian, but it is readable, legible, and organized. I recommend this version as your first order of it. If you want to find earlier editions after, I say, go for it.Thank you

everything is good except that some words have been cut off in the intro. It looks like they rushed the printing or somethin but the actual text (so far) is good and nothing is missing...overall get this book...if ur down with the buddha then this is for u...really good and important book, n this is the only decently prices version i no of...i took off one star cause of the speedy printing, which is really unprofessional.... but yeah get this book...look on wikipedia for wut the books about..they hit it right on the money...Briefly)--- its a bunch of convos between an indian(greek) king Milinda (Meander) n a buddhist scholar... ps.... milinda was a real guy.. indians today remember him

In the first half of the book the dialogue answers many questions that I have posed myself, and the answers are excellent. For anyone interested in eastern thought, this book is a must read. I found the second half to be far less enlightening, almost as if it was written by a disciple that did not fully understand the words of a master. The breaking point is clear though. The translator has an introduction to the second portion, and for me that is the stopping point.

A very important and great book. Many questions were answered. It helped answer many of my philosophical questions.
