Essential Sufism by Robert Frager

excellent introductory reference. well-chosen, varied, succinct, and to-the-point quotations; not too few, not too many. pretty decent thematic organization

the most important improvement would b specific page numbers for the english tr. and original lang editions of the sources for each quotation; mb also v brief biographical details of the authors cited

Essential Sufism by Robert Frager

Disjointed rag-tag quote book.
