So, I don't want to hamper your enthusiasm, but I'm not sure if your criterion (cheap and paperback) are the best way to build a sutta collection.dharmatheway84 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:54 am The books will be largely paperback and mostly not in mint condition, since I will be looking for the lowest prices. In addition, they won't be matching, but as long as they are all there...
The Sutta Nippata
The Snp by Fausbol is not horrible, but it's over 100 years old. It's true, the world is a little thin on Sutta Nipata translations. Personally I recommend the one on the readingfaithfully.org link I gave above. It's a paperback by KR Norman. It also includes notes from a second translation where the second translation differed significantly.
As well, there are inexpensive paperbacks on that list for the Vv and Pv that might be a bit more readable than the one you've got.
And, yeah, I don't think that is a good Dhp translation. Again, there is a paperback on the link I gave for Ven. Buddharakkhita. Far better that what you've got.
