Before you choose

How to buy books

Scripture you will want to keep open on the altar and hand down. Cloth-bound and sewn, with the Sanskrit, a clear transliteration, and a translation that explains rather than preaches.

  1. 01

    Sewn, not glued

    A book read every day and left lying open has to be sewn. Glued spines crack within a year.

  2. 02

    Transliteration helps you chant

    If you recite, choose an edition with a clear transliteration so you are not guessing at pronunciation.
