Classic books with content suitable to any time. We can't learn from modern books new information that we can from old times books and wisdom.

This is such a classic and I always enjoy a revamp of something that is kind of hard to read in order to make it easier to read.

Amber Books are quickly becoming a "must buy" publisher for me. I absolutely love their non-fiction books and James Trapp's new translation of Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' is no exception.

The book is well-formatted with useful and informative footnotes that give the text greater context.

Whilst I cannot read Chinese, I really appreciated the inclusion of quotes and text written in Chinese as many English translated editions of The Art of War don't adequately acknowledge the original language in my opinion.

I have now ordered this book and look forward to seeing and feeling the binding that has been done using a traditional Chinese practice.

Thank you to NetGalley, Amber Books, and James Trapp for giving me a free digital copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.
