 OK for What It Is, November 26, 2012
By John Scalice

I bought this book more for its historical significance than for its content, so I wasn't expecting too much. Luckily I got it for a reasonable price, and am satisfied with the content. There are now much better books on Master Tong's system. There is no reason to buy this book for the $150 to $300 that some people charge.

As mentioned above there is no need to pay silly money for this book, as it is available to download for free from a well known Swedish bit torrent site (if you hurry).

I don't know this book already out of print for a long time or not. Is it suppose to be a collector item??? Without any research and preparation, I bought this book on amazon one an a half years ago for roughly $150. After I recieve the book and I find out on the back of the book clearly written the price is 29.95 us dollar. Please think twice before you buy it. Dr young's book provide very similar information and the price is much more reasonable.

 It is a good extra info book., January 21, 2008

HI I am a licensed acupuncturist in NYC. I practice for over 14 years and do almost Mr. Tungs style exclusively now, for about 3 years.
I have about 6 to 10 books on Master Tung and I can honestly say that I still refer to Miriam Lee's book on Master Tung. This book does not say much about style guide lines but it is a good point energetics and applications book. Additionally it is supplemented with lots of detailed personal testimonials and stories. I would recommend this book for someone who already owns Dr. Young's or Dr. Chu's book.

interesting traditional style, March 02, 2003
By Eric

This book is now out of print which is unfortunate as Dr. Miriam Lee's clinical stories are very interesting. The material in this book, however, was not sufficient to learn how to practice Master Tung's acupuncture. Purchase Dr. Young's books which are much better clinically and do not bother spending hundreds of dollars acquiring this out of print book.

 Horribly Flawed, February 14, 2003
By Brian B. Carter

Unfortunately, this is the best book out there on the subject. But not for long...
Master Tong's student, Yang Wei Jie is currently publishing his own book in English. He has already written many in Chinese.
Besides the errors in point location in this book, the biggest problem is that it fails to convey the system that Master Tong used to choose his points.
That's to be expected, since this is basically a translation of Master Tong's first book. Master Tong did not explain his system to his students until after that book was written.
So, if you want to learn the system by which you can choose and find and create your own points for whoever walks into your clinic, wait for another book! Either Yang Wei Jie's, or one that has yet to be written on the clinical use of the system by someone else like Dr. Robert Chu.
