• A Beautifully Designed Book full Of Wisdom (from Ahadada Books)
  This is a beautifully designed book with a limpid translation by Stephen Addiss and Stanley Lombardo. Here's one of my favorites:

• Perfect Wisdom
  Incredible.
  One of the wonders of the world.
  Wise words to live by.
  Read it over and over and over again. Grab it and pick a random page for any situation.

• Find Enlightenment
  This is a lovely translation of the Tao Te Ching. It maintains the style of the original Chinese instead of trying to force a meaning into verbose English. It also peppers the text with Chinese characters so readers with a background in Asian languages can derive their own meaning from the writing as well.

• The Best translation ever!
  This is the best translation of the ancient Book, because it respect the original lay out and meaning, when you'll read it you'll find that Li Earl (Lao Tse) was talking about meditative states of mind, that unless you enter on them you will never understand the true meaning of his words. So buy this book, and do Zazen or Taichi and then read it again.
