Not only is the content of the letters and correspondence of importance, but the editor must be commended for his generous and painstaking annotations. I particularly appreciated Kawthari's clarifications re his criticisms of Shah Waliullah and Shah Isma'il Shahid, even though I disagree with him. The book is otherwise a good window into what Qasim Zaman and others have analysed: the phenomenon of collaborative scholarly engagement on an international level of competing forms of Islam, often referred to as "trans-nationalism" in some disciplines. So whilst the Ahl-i Hadith had their scholarly networks, here's a snap-shot of the Hanafi equivalent. Apart from this Kawthari and Binnori write well; both have their distinct writing styles in Arabic, which make reading them all the more enjoyable. رحم الله الجميع
