This book can be used by pianists and piano teachers (often isolated in small towns) to find up-to-date answers to recurring injury problems, inspiration for playing "from the mind and heart" as well as the hands, and, in general, just talking about piano (although a lot of the information works well for other instrumentalists as well--especially the exercises for flexibility and strength). It's like a "class in a book."

This is an expensive book that may indeed be useful, but the written English is either not edited or badly edited. That may seem a small point, but a book that has grammatical errors in almost every paragraph can be hard to read.
