Help with two editions of “Book of the Five Rings”

I’m not sure what the differences are between these two or which one I should get. They are by the same author. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. No.1 is also a biography of Musashi and includes translations of his other works as well as The Book of Five Rings.

    No.2 is only a translation of The Book of Five Rings. Most likely that is why it is cheaper.

    While they are both by Musashi, as you are reading them in translation I would say it’s the translator who is more important.

    I haven’t read either of these translations. There are *many* translations available.
