5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent tool for learning how to massage.
I've always wanted to learn how to massage and this book is a great tool for learning some techniques. It walks you through a massage session and it shows you the dos and don'ts of the movements. It also teaches what kinds of oils are necessary and their properties. So if you're interested on the basics this is the book for you.

Good text; horrible illustrations
This manual was disappointing. The text is detailed and thorough, and provides quite a few techniques. Judged by the writing alone, it's a good book. Unfortunately, the excellent writing is completely overshadowed by the wretched illustrations. The book is devoid of photographs, and features only crude line drawings that are sometimes confusing, and sometimes...

This review is from: Teach Yourself Massage (Paperback)
This manual was disappointing.The text is detailed and thorough, and provides quite a few techniques. Judged by the writing alone, it's a good book. Unfortunately, the excellent writing is completely overshadowed by the wretched illustrations. The book is devoid of photographs, and features only crude line drawings that are sometimes confusing, and sometimes completely undecipherable. "Honey, what is that supposed to be, a knee?" "No, I think it's an elbow." "Ohh! It's a chin!" It's a shame that the poor presentation drags this book down into the two-star region. Let's hope they jazz it up a bit for the next edition -- if there is a next edition. |
