"This is a thorough guide to traditional acupuncture with easy diagrams and a comprehensive listing of the hundreds of different points. It has superb diagrams to illustrate positioning and anatomical structures: the best I have seen so far in an acupuncture text book. The authors also point out that 'normal anatomy' does not always apply in real life. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to study acupuncture further: it is clear, well-indexed and beautifully illustrated." -- 2008 BMA Medical Book Competition Programme and Award Winners
"If I were headed for a desert island and could only bring one acupuncture reference with me...I would confidently reach for this wonderful book. This is an extremely well-organized, often exhaustive, and always easy-to-use reference. It is fun and instructive to browse, and quick and easy to use in the middle of clinic when you need to confirm the location and technique for a point. I know I will enjoy it for years to come." -- Colonel Lewis A. Hofmann, Medical Acupuncture
