 HOLD ON HERE..., July 26, 2002

Before buying this outdated book you should be aware that Dr Mann, who is essentially the father of Western acupuncture (he treated me back in 1960-1) has recanted everything this book is about. He no longer believes that points or meridians exist. Read, rather, his Re-Inventing Acupuncture and skip this.

Great Teaching Tool, March 20, 1999
By A customer

This book is an excellent teaching tool. My shiatsu teacher brings it to my acupressure therapist class every week and it is one of his treasures we must be very careful of and we refer to it often. The book is easy to understand (front, rear and side views of the body) showing bones, muscles, meridian lines and acupressure/acupuncture points. One great feature is the book lays flat when the charts fold open (about 2.5 feet).

Almost zero useful info, low quality, April 25, 1998
By A customer

This "atlas" consists of three relatively large (about 2.5 feet) two-color pictures (front view, rear view, side view): bones and muscles drawn in reddish orange color, and the meridian lines in black. The points are shown against the bones and against the muscles.
I personally found nothing that I haven't already seen in most any other book. The quality of these three pictures (IMHO) is very poor, among the poorest I've seen, only larger. No matter how many books on this subject you can afford to have, this one isn't likely to serve you much (IMHO).
