Beautiful little treasure chest on Sikhism
I think that this is one of the best books on Sikhism that you can buy. So far I've bought 6 copies of this book and given it to friends and family as presents. It is a quality publication divided up into separate topics, with beautiful little photographs and some of the most wonderful sayings of the Gurus translated in to simple English. An excellent present to give someone on Vasakhi or on a Gurpurb. But make sure you also get one for yourself.

Inspiring And Educational.
I loved this book from the moment I started reading it, not just because I'm Sikh and I indentify with it but because it made me feel comfortable and capable of understanding what was being said. I've read many books on many faiths and usually I find them quite daunting and somewhat confusing. This book is not only clear but the script itself is very easy to grasp with beautiful images that don't overwhelm you.

Every household, Sikh or not Sikh should have a copy of this book, as a point of reference and attaining knowledge it really is a brilliant investment. For a Sikh family this is an ideal way of introducing your young ones into the faith without pushing anything hardcore onto them.

A must have for every modern day family all over the globe.

Pure Joy
I bought this one before I was inspired by Sikhism (and converted pretty soon after).

It gives the reader a good insight into the Beauty and Spirit of Sikhism and an even inspiring read.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book even for a gift or coffee-table reading.
