2.0 out of 5 stars Slick design, superficial content, February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This book reads as though it were thrown together on a weekend. Much better value in other, more thorough massage books.

2.0 out of 5 stars quick and sloppy massage tips, February 22, 2001

By	S. Soper (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book because it was less expensive than others on the market. Now I wish I had spent more money. While it does have some valuble information in it, it provides little in the way of comprehensive and holistic methodology; it's just very basic and step-by-step. While obviously geared toward the (future) professional, the stripped-down verbage and lack of imagination make it a mediocre sourcebook for anyone considering massage as a career. If you have NEVER ever thought about massage and are totally new to the concept, this would be helpful; otherwise, look for something bigger.

2.0 out of 5 stars glossy well photographed but low on usability, August 13, 2002

By	simon gurney (london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

most of the effort here has gone into the design and photography, almost every massage tip is hard if not impossible to understand correctly.
there are complex instructions which mean nothing, no diagram to explain what is meant, just a photo which doesnt tie in, you have to guess what is meant in nearly every example.
this is not a good way to pick up massage techneques, picked up a few tips but overall disatisfied.
