As an acupuncture student who already had the usual texts and acupuncture model dolls, I added this to my collection strictly for the pictorial images unavailable in other similar textbooks. Points and pathways are overlaid over a skeleton illustration, a muscle illustration, and one or more modeled exterior illustrations with some showing blood vessels and nerves (which most acupuncture books don't cover). With at least 3 or more separate illustration for each point, this gave me a good idea of where they were when palpating over an actual body.For those who want an acupuncture point textbook to read, this is probably not it since there is very little beyond a general pathway description and point location summaries. But if you are looking for a good pictorial reference guide to point locations, I highly recommend this book.

J.R. Worsley presents an excellent reference for acupuncture students, clinicians, and enthusiasts everywhere. Very clearly presented and well illustrated.
