Interesting and quick read (half of it is pictures). My only complaints are that I wish the pictures were more than just line drawings and that they included some photos of examples from actual Tibetan art (This is a book primarily about Tibetan art and Vajrayana symbology and would look different if it was an all inclusive book of buddhist symbols like the title suggests).

This is a book I keep going back to every now and then. I randomly just walk by and pick it up, read a few pages, and then put it back on the shelf.
