While certainly not a book with details on how to build a sauna nor any new significant information for myself, I am milder in my assessment than the previous reviewer.

It's about expectations with which you come to this book at hand. The author himself phrases the objective of the book as "The main purpose of this book is to provide reliable information about the sauna. Although the sauna is growing in popularity in the United States and throughout the world, there are many to whom the concept is strange, perhaps even frightening. To such readers this volume is an invitation to explore the sauna, to become better acquainted with it, and to enjoy it as a very natural and healthful experience."

The book is targeted for those who have not grown up with a sauna and gives general information about saunas, how to use them and their history.

Here is the total book. A sauna is hot. It makes you sweat. You sweat out toxins......

That is it. Save your 10.95. There is no usful information here.

There's not a lot of content to this book. It introduces the sauna to someone who has never heard of it, and makes some vague health claims. Books like this can be safely ignored today when we can obtain a whole lot more information on saunas in a couple of minutes of google and wikipedia viewing.
