5.0 out of 5 stars A quality book, August 27, 2002
I was a bit dubious about buying this book as I have a lot of books on acupuncture already and no one had reviewed it. The reason I was considering it was mainly because of the ear acupuncture, which is often not covered in much detail in mainstream acupuncture books. Anyway, about a year after looking at it (since it was always popping up when I was browsing), I took the plunge - and it was well worth it.

The book is paperback size and weighs about 280 g (10 oz), mainly due to the glossy high quality paper used. The contents are extremely well organized and key information is presented clearly. The illustrations and photos are excellent. The introduction covers the body cun measurements. Part I covers the 12 main meridians and the conception vessel (Ren mai), governing vessel (Du mai) and extra points. For each meridian, all the points of the meridian are shown in one photo of a real human body, followed by detailed illustrations (showing bones, muscles and tendons), locations, actions, indications and needling of the major points. There are also blue boxes containing extra tips for locating points or warnings about treatment. Part II (50 pages) covering the ear is well done with reference to both the Chinese ear points and Nogier's ear points, including indications. The locations of points (or areas) in this section are depicted on photos of real ears. Part III (90 pages) on trigger points is equally well done. The references indicate a wealth of acupuncture research and resources in German. While this book may never become a recommended text in North America due to the already well-established texts available, it would be useful as a compact compendium for carrying around or as reference for both the student and practitioner.

4.0 out of 5 stars A NICE POCKET BOOK , April 30, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR ACUPUNCTURE POCKET BOOK YOU WILL FIND A VERY NICE ONE. WITH PRECISE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOS.
ITS POCKET SIZE IS SUPERB. IT CAN BE USED AS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE.
I GAVE IT FOUR STARS BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS ACUPUNCTURE ATLAS LEADING ME TO THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE A COMPLETE ATLAS WITH ALL POINTS, BUT IT ONLY COVERS SOME POINTS,MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES.
OVERALL IT'S A NICE POCKET BOOK BUT NOT FOR BEGGINERS WHO MUST LOOK FOR A COMPLETE TEXTBOOK BEFORE BUYING THIS,

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for beginners, October 1, 2003
By Gy "William" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
Caroline's review is true, but this book was not what I expected. It describes only some selected points after showing all points on a full human picture. That is why it is not for beginners.

I like this book for point location. Anatomical references are very good and I feel I can "grok" the point. Read more

Very good and compact reference. Outstandingly clear depiction of the points.
The only missing thing I'd like to be included is the meridian activity time-table.
