The translation is great. It maintains the succinct if not terse nature of the book. Lately I've noticed that introductory chapters and explanations of Tao Te Ching are included in other books...MEH...I think it should be read and considered on it's own merit and that of the reader. I do also have the 1972 version by Feng/English which is also a great version...Although it has been "updated" in the name of political correctness to eliminate any real or perceived male centric language. I really wish they would give the reader/student a little more credit before messing with the classics. I also recommend Cleary's "The Essential Tao".
