This is a textbook work -- I think the author wrote this to have material for his students -- so it does have a more fluid reading than other scholar works. Dr. Hirakawa was an eminent buddhism scholar. This makes for a great summary on the early and sectarian history of buddhism (along with A. K. Warder's "Indian Buddhism")
It is a rather old Edition! It is of the year 1990 (reprint 1998) not as the new 2007 edition as shown in the picture!
