"When Eugen Herrigel died in 1955 he had published only one book, but it was a classic of its kind,
Zen in the Art of Archery. He also left voluminous notes describing his six years of training under a Japanese Zen Master. These, edited and revised by Alan Watts and others, form
The Method of Zen... even surpassing Herrigel's earlier work."–
San Francisco Sunday Chronicle "A more charmingly written, informative and important primer on any subject, let alone one as obscure as Zen, is hard to come by."–Faubion Bowers,
The New York Times Book Review
