I am an avid amateur student of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Because I do only independent study, I find this book a little bit terse for my needs. The material of this book is very complete, and it is presented in the most useful possible form for reference and review. Almost all the information is put into self-explanatory tables that essentially anyone could follow. The organization is so perfect that nothing could possibly be any better. It is like the ultimate set of class notes from a very good course on diagnosis. However, if you don't HAVE a course to go to and if you don't HAVE a teacher to enlarge a little bit on the content, you will probably need a bigger, wordier text (like Tie-Tao Deng's text) to go with this one. Still, the organization is so exceptional that this book has to be of considerable value to any student of TCM. (If you are already a master, you don't need any book, do you?)

Easy to read, no hard to understand terminology. Exactly what the instructor/school requires.

This simplifies the understanding of the meridian channels like no other book has. Used it daily with my studies.

Why by this book through Amazon for $65 dollars or more when you can get it from Redwing Books for $40 dollars? Usually Amazon has the best deals but not this time. It seems a bit absurd!
