The Cookbook for Great Massages,
This review is from: The Back Rub Book (Paperback)
The Back Rub Book is a great resource for anyone who wants to make other people feel good. Anne Rush explains a multitude of techniques in easy-to-understand language and provides "recipes" for massage sessions. These sessions have themes (i.e., a wake-up massage, massage for lovers, etc.) as well as specific techniques not found in other massage books. (My favorite is the Rocking Horse, which is performed on the back.) I've read quite a few massage books, but this is my favorite by far.

Excellent book on back massages,

This review is from: The Back Rub Book (Paperback)
This is a great book for people who'd love to give a back massage. As a person who's taken three massage courses at university, I find this book helpful in refining my previously-learned techniques. Also, The Back Rub Book has helped me learn some new ways of providing back massages. This book covers all sorts of massage: athletic, sensual, and general. It also gives tips and alerts you to any gotchas you may come across while giving massage. All in all, I highly recommend this book to both novice and advanced massagers.

This review is from: The Back Rub Book (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed The Back Rub Book; its friendly, themed lessons are a fun way to learn the art of massage. And this is the first massage book I've read which gives advice on ways to *receive* a massage and improve the experience! The themed chapters progressively introduce you to new techniques and combinations of strokes in a friendly, unintimidating way. I heartily recommend this book for those looking for a intro to massage.
