Machig Labdron & the Foundations of Chod

Any thoughts on Jerome Edou's book for an interested but not particularly well informed reader? Recommended, or would you suggest looking elsewhere?

I'm no expert on Machig, but I have read Machig's Complete Explanation, Sarah Harding's overview of Chod in the Intro to one of the volumes of Kongtrul's Treasury of Knowledge, Edou's book about Machig, the Chapter in Allione's Women of Wisdom on Machig, and Lion of Siddhas about Padampa Sangye. I'd recommend all of them, Edou is a bit dryer then the rest, but still informative.Jikan wrote:Any thoughts on Jerome Edou's book for an interested but not particularly well informed reader?
