More DescriptionThis book, compiled by scholar Yael Bentor, is for those trying to learn to read Tibetan texts. It takes short excerpts from a wide spectrum of well-known Tibetan works and presents them in Tibetan script along with glossaries customized for each text.

The front and backmatter will be minimal, but will give some basic information on the Tibetan alphabet and identifying root letters within syllables. Will be a great textbook for beginning classes in Tibetan but could be used as part of an independent study by devoted practitioners as well.
