Disappointed,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Body Piercing - A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide to Internet References (Paperback)
Maybe I didn't read the description page, but the whole book consists pages after pages of various websites for piercings and such. I could easily go online to get those infomation, I just have to carefully reason myself which one is trustworthy and reliable. I returned the book the very same day. Not worth buying!

Not what I was expecting,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Body Piercing - A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide to Internet References (Paperback)
I have to agree with the first reviewer. I guess I didn't look at the description or something because this was not at all what I was expecting. The dictionary had very little connection to piercing related health issues (something as simple as Fistula, the flesh tunnel that forms around a successfully healed piercing, wasn't even there). Other than that the book merely has a lot of links to resources on piercing things and a lot of it seems to revolve around worst-case scenarios (liver disease, etc). I'm returning this book as soon as possible.
