good delivery

Speedy delivery. I was satisfied. Book was in good condition, no marks, bended pages or anything.

Simply Wonderful!

One of the first books printed that goes into detail on the wonderful art of massage - used so extensively in the east but only brought to light again in the west in the mid to late 1800's. A valuable book for anyone in the healing arts wanting to know a little history behind a phenomena that is finally becoming an accepted and beneficial alternative form of healing.

An Invaluable Resource

I was interested in generally learning more about the art of massage. This is a wonderful book for the curious or the practitioner. It is a great introduction to massage, speaking of the history as well as practical application. Excellent!
