: The best book that I have seen is Gita translated by Swami Chidbhavananda.
: It has an extensive commentary. You can get the book from the Ramakrishna-
: Vivekananda Vedanta center in the UK. Their address and phone number are
: given below.
How well you appreciate Swami Chidbhavanada's book depends upon how much
you like commentary. I, personnally, dislike commentary didn't like the
Hari Krishna version and probably wouldn't like Swami C's. Its rather
thick and is at least 95% commentary; my own version is between 1/4" and
1/2" thick and has almost none.
