Good basic guide
By Bonobobananas
A good introduction for those new to acupuncture, gives most of main points together with suggested 'recipes' for certain pathologies and an insight into TCM. Could have done with some nice colour pictures, but you can't have everything in a book this size - get Seirin for that!

A good basic book
By Mike
I am a fairly new medical acupuncturist with no background in traditional chinese medicine. I would recommend this book as a good starting point for others in a similar situation.

'Tyred'
By fuddybo of Rotherham
Being a bit new to this malarkey, I found I was drawn to this particular pamphlet by other reviewers who recommended it as a 'good introduction', and as I have just purchased on 'ebay' a vintge 'Raleigh Chopper' [from a gentleman in Frognal, coincidentally], and given that he says that the main problem is that the off~side rear tyre is flat, I thought I'd give it a whirl. But~PROBLEMO!!! Nowhere in the index can I find 'chopper'. Not in that sense, anyway.
