Excerpt from The Gods of Northern Buddhism: Their History; Iconography and Progressive Evolution Through the Northern Buddhist CountriesIT is difficult for those who are unacquainted with the iconography of the gods of the Mahayana Pantheon to realize the degree of interest that may be attached to even a crude representation of a Northern Buddhist divinity.To the uninitiated the images of these deities are only of value as works Of art; or as grotesque curios; with their various heads and many arms but to the initiated; apart from their artistic merit; they furnish an almost inexhaustible fund for study and research.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It skims over some things but is good for its size. It was good for my class and it was a required read. As a college student I couldnt have done class with out this book. I shared it with other students and classmates as well. I like the design on the cover; it is very artsy and creative. It is nice to look at; I understand why my teache chose this specific textbook to use in his class.
