For reference, there is also a simplified version of all of the texts, a complete index and glossary, and detailed suggestions for how to successfully use the books.Volume III contains fifteen selections, twelve of those focusing on herbal theory. The texts presented include single herb monographs from the Shen Nong Ben Cao, flavor theory from the Tang Ye Ben Cao and Nei Jing Ling Shu, and theories of creating and modifying prescriptions for specific illnesses and patterns. The remaining three selections focus on acupuncture and channel theory from the Ling Shu, Zhen Jiu Da Cheng, and Nan Jing.

What a great book! Very nice format. It introduces Classical grammar and builds your vocabulary at a very even pace, challenging enough, but if done consistently it is doable. I just finished volume 3. These series gave me enough grammar and vocabulary that I feel confident I can tackle Shan Han Lun on my own.
