Nice book. Smaller than expected.
It's a very nice book with good information for massaging. It's just smaller than I expected, but not a tiny book. I favor bigger books like this. But that's just me.

Not what I expected
Book was kind of technical. But I did get some important and valuable information from it. I will it when I massage my wife

Everything I need in a small package
Great intro to massage for beginners. Provides techniques, a sample massage sequence, great diagrams (anatomy), and a brief history. Some people complained about the size of the book, but I love the size! It fits in my (large) purse so I can take it to read on the go.

Just what I needed !

This is a handy book with a lot if quality images demonstrated different techniques in GENERAL, not in DETAIL. You should have basic knowledge of massage techniques. It will not be your training manual
