2 of my books for free or in hardcopy

[Gary]

this is to note and celebrate penguin's publication this week of the complete idiot's guide to buddhism third edition



----- and in so doing invite goodreads readers who wish to partake for free , thanks to interesting, unforseen turns of events

the penguin release is a completely updated, thoroughly revised third edition of my complete idiot's guide to buddhism. so i'm more than happy to announce too that anyone who wishes to read the second edition, can do so at books.google.com


PLUS if you search by my name, gary gach, and you'll find not only complete idiot's guide to understanding buddhism second edition, but also my anthology ...

... what book buddha poems from beat to hiphop (foreward by peter coyote) for a while out of print, but parallax has now brought back into print. (it won an american book award, i'm very proud to say)

so you have your option of free online reading, or inksmeared deadtree format ...

i've always wanted to bring out a dharma book or two, free of the cash nexus, and now google has enabled me to do so

[there are a few pages missing, but you can also search the books [google them:] and also enlarge the size on your monitor (to larger than the book itself even)

beyond that am more than glad to spotlight unique features of either or both books, and welcome comments, questions, criticism, etc — there are no authors without readers, and here at goodreads we're all both readers AND authors (yay!)

may all beings be well
