1st year we spend a fortune on books, and if i could go back i'd buy the cards instead, you'll get better use of it, it won't kill your back (its too havy and you must take it to uni on regular basis) and it's better value for money. and when you need the extra that's on the book but not on the cards you can look it up in the library.
i still give this book 5 star as it is indispensable to have the book or the cards in order to study and refer back to your points

Beautifully bound. No doubt this brick is worth the price. This item is a want, AND need. Very useful and very graceful.

Improved Graphics
28 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
The Deadman text is required by most TCM schools. If you have the previous version and already know your points this version might not be needed, you can always get the new CD when it comes out. If you are still learning then the illustrations are improved, making it easier to locate the exact location of a point.
There have been some corrections made to known errors in the previous edition.
Other than that the biggest difference is that the cover is now orange instead of black.

Good content bad binding
6 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
I generally agree with the positive reviews of the content, save for the needle depths in some cases are possibly too deep. However, for such an expensive book, it should not fall apart in 3 months or less. The hard cover completely fell off mine and the book split in half. Other people I know have not had the same problem, but a high percentage of those books look like they will within short order.

Best Reference for its Niche, but consider the DVD multimedia version.
28 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very well conceived, comprehensive and organized text of acupuncture, for the whole journey from beginning to advanced practice. It provides a very rich and in depth summary of information about each point, both in terms of modern usage and plus selected highlights from the classical chinese texts. There is more specific detail on each point in this manual than I have found in any other source, including for the extra points. It is a delightful resource to just read. The language is clear, straightforward and does not bog down in overly heavy detail either. It is well enough organized to assist in problem solving for particular conditions.
But, I recommend searching a little further and considering an even richer treasure -- the DVD multimedia verison of this same Manual. It contains everything in the printed text plus some additional enhancements. On the DVD, it is generally easier to appreciate the organization of points by their meridians, their inter-relationships and to follow well-designed sections detailing out the anatomy of critical landmarks such as the spinous processes, ribs, and other bony landmarks. Both the text and DVD contain thorough coverage on precautions to take when needling near organs. Both have extensive charts, historical information and cross-referencing by indications.
The interactive study tools in the DVD version and the ability to construct your own practice tests, as well as the ease of computer-added search make the digital version my favorite over the printed text.
One Caveat: It is important to know that the DVD employs frustrating DRM limitations which require that the user keep the DVD in their disk drive anytime they want to use the program. I find this intermittently slows down acquisition of a link and occasionally necessitates rebooting the entire computer due to some odd hangup. Printed texts fortunately bypass these irritations.
