I expected translations of the listed topics including the root tantra and commentaries; but instead it is lots and lots of lists of texts that talk about the topic;. If you are looking for material to assist your practice and understanding in a practical or philosophical way; and you aren't a Tibetan scholar; then this isn't the book for you. If you are a very highly specialized scholar of Tibetan philosophy with access to the original Tibetan texts then this might be right up your alley.
