Best Imitation of Christ I ever read

A Nice Little Edition
By A Benedictine Oblate from Minneapolis, MN on August 13, 2009
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Read a chapter or two of this book with your daily meditation/devotional time. When you get to the end, start over. Read slowly and savor the wisdom it contains. I have the hardcover edition, but when I saw this new one in leather with the zipper I had to have it. I like the smell of the leather and the zipper is a really neat feature along with the gilt edge pages and the ribbon marker. Feels good in your hand.

PROS:Beautiful presentation quality. The translation is very readable and priced for giving. I bought three-- one to replace my well used,dog eared paperback edition and two for RCIA friends. Cons: Very minor, a few, and only a few of the illustrations seem some what dated and out of sync with the fine quality of this great Catholic Classic
This is one of my favorites.
