Customer Reviews

This is a decent book.

This is a decent abridgement of Madame Blavatsky's most famous work, the Secret Doctrine. As the introduction says, this version was introduced to spark interest in people to get the full, unabridged version. It would seem to have worked - one week after I bought this abridgement, I went out and got the full version of it by Theosophical University Press. I was not disappointed in the least.
