1.		The Art of War from Filiquarian Publishing Price: £3.00 Customer Review: I'm not especially interested in military history, neither am I a manager or businessman, but I still found this book very enjoyable. It has the rare appeal of being of its time but at the same time applicable to the present day. Many of the insights feel very contemporary - not simply to the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Art of War: The Oldest Military Treatise in the World from WWW.Bnpublishing.com Price: £4.74 Customer Review: The translator in this book was Lionel Giles, I have his translation of this, in a more extensive version. The translation I have is most amusing because Lionel Giles enters into discussion of the commentaries and also enters into a critique of the other contemporary (circa 1908) and prior... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Book of Five Rings: A Classic Text on the Japanese Way of the Sword from Shambhala Publications Inc Price: £5.49 Customer Review: I have three copies of Sun Tzu's Art of War, one fairly expensive by Cleary, and two cheaper translations, I like the expensive one least of the three for it's pushing of a pacifist Taoism that isn't in the others. Victor Harris's translation of the book of five rings is fine.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		If You Meet Buddha on the Road, Kill Him from Bantam USA Customer Review: I work as a speechwriter and I love this type of book because it's full of quotable stuff. Lines like, 'You are free to do whatever you like. You need only face the consequences.' or, 'You can't make anyone love you. You just have to reveal who your are and take your chances.'

5.		The Bhagavad Gita (Classic of Indian Spirituality) (Classic of Indian Spirituality) from Nilgiri Press Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This version is very readable, short and simple yet packed with concepts. You have to read this! There is a reason why this version is the most popular one especially for someone like me who doesn't know much on Hinduism. I am looking to buy other versions now to understand this great work.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Bushido: The Way of the Samurai (Square One Classics): The Way of the Samurai (Square One Classics) from Square One Publishers Price: £6.64 Customer Review: I can't better the other review below except to say that this translation of the Bushido is far easier to read, understand, digest and put into daily practice than the hoards of other versions of "Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai by Tsunetomo Yamamoto" which this book is based upon. Despite a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice from Hohm Press,U.S. Price: £13.99 Customer Review: This book deserves the 5 stars for the sheer expanse, the research behind it, and the approachable explanations of a very difficult, convoluted, and relatively undocumented subject. I especially enjoyed the historic context and perspective behind the various systems of yoga, and commend the author's... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
