What interests my about Anthony C. Yu's translation is that it's four volumes long. So even though I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, it does genuinely feel like you'd get the full story from it.

Whereas pic related by Arthur Waley is an abridged translation. Which isn't exactly what I want in terms to mythological accuracy to the text. Or at least the closest to accurate as possible.

Other than Journey to the West, are there any other translations of Chinese Mythology that you've read that you would recommend as high quality English translations?
