Query: A scholarly masterwork of a translation

This translation is a masterpiece of our time. An Epic translation unmatched in scholarship or praise. It is a volume that any student of early Buddhism, scholar and lay-person alike will cherish and refer back to time and again. Little criticism can be found in the scholarship of the translation, and for those who are curious, thorough notes are given at the ends of chapters, but I am forced to subtract a star just for the fact that one wishes that a work of this scope would be published in a superior binding than what is found in the current edition. The binding is unfortunately glued instead of sewn, and it can be expected that this is not a book that will last to be passed down to kin. I would like to see a publication of superior quality someday.
