I'd recommend this to the serious student - it has a complete syllabary, lots of conjuncts, some complex bīja, mantras, and a complete Heart Sūtra with a calligraphic commentary showing alternate letter forms.

I have heard some really great things about this book already. Very, very good for serious students.
ReplyDeleteYes. It covers Japanese style Siddhaṃ reasonably thoroughly, and it well presented. I suppose if you read Japanese it is even better. One minor negative is that the Heart Sūtra text is not entirely correct Sanskrit, and I would refer people to editions prepared by Edward Conze.
