## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Infinite beauty
*by P***A on January 10, 2012*

Beer is a genius of Tibetan symbolism and a master of the art. If Tibetan art is a passion of yours, or you are an aspiring Buddhist this is a must for you. He also published a larger hardcover volume which this was adapted from. The hardcover book is much more comprehensive, larger and quite beautiful. The quality of printing is excellent. Beers ability to replicate the repetitive images is almost robotic and mind blowing in his precision. Just look at the rolling waves or cloud formations..for pen and ink drawings that are vibrant and alive on the page. The essence of Tibetan Buddhist multiverse perception. It is infinitely enjoyable and informative as he defines all of the images meanings and the essence of what they evoke. Just looking at his drawings evokes a peaceful, meditative and introspective experience. For a student or artist studying Buddhism or just art, this will educate and enthrall. It gives definitive meaning and helps clarify the imagery in one volume unlike any other writings i have found. I do recommend this book as well as the larger comprehensive volume..also available on Amazon. Om mani padme hum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quintessential for its Quality
*by B***M on April 23, 2017*

This revised edition of Beer's compilation of Tibetan symbols is indispensable as a student of Tibetan studies. Although I am not focused religion, the iconography if religious figures and themes comes up often enough that I had extensively relied on Google previews of the book and finally decided to buy a copy and save myself the screen time. The Handbook is a little better organized and has more of the material that I need compared to the earlier Encyclopedia. Beer's images are clear and show a considerable amount of the possible variety, much easier to learn to recognize form than in the complexities of fully colored thangka. In terms of just needed a simple answer and enough background to start understanding and researching elements of iconography this book is the perfect launching point.The book is made with nice paper and the illustrations are nice and clear. Shipping with Prime was great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price, Quality and Delivery Excellent
*by D***N on August 29, 2022*

Wanted to purchase this book for some time. It serves as a reference guide for new and seasoned practitioners. The black and white illustrations invite me/us to pick up coloring pencils to fill in the lines. Call this purchase a Joyful Effort. Thank you for offering good/precious books in great condition at a decent price.
