Need help first Tao Te Ching Book
I am buying my first Tao Te Ching book and I am trying to decide between three books one is a James trapp book that I was drawn to because of the traditional binding I am a sucker for nicely bound hardcover books.

The second one is coauthored by Stephen Mitchell which some on on a thread said was the best because he got the spirit of the original right even if it wasn't the most accurate translation

The third authors seem to be highly reccomended in other threads for their good translation they are Stanley Lombardo and Steven addis.
