Thanks mike,
I like dr. Masefields translations especially as he often gives
the pali alongside the translation.
I think if jim ever does a book translation it may be even
better as Jim explains the grammar and alternative possibilities
in detail - one really understands the meaning then.
Well worth buying all of masefields commentarial translations.
