A Supplement to Your Feng Shui Book Collection, 30 Jan 2002
By C. Marsteller "Cafreen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Dos and Taboos (Paperback)
This is a handy little book with quick tips to SUPPLEMENT your collection, otherwise, I would NOT recommend this to be an introduction to Feng Shui. It would seem strange and "silly", as commented by another reviewer, if you don't at least have background knowledge. I would recommend "The Western Guide to Feng Shui" By Terah Kathryn Collins, and/or "Feng Shui for Dummies" by the for Dummies series. These two books will introduce you to the concepts and also teach you ways to use this ancient art to enhance certain areas of your life. One caveat, there are many different "schools" of Feng Shui out there. For this reason, I highly recommend the for Dummies series as it uses a combination of all the schools of thought and does so in a simplified manner that anyone could master. I've purchased many books on the subject and started to become confused and inundated while learning of the different schools of thought. It can become quite discouraging in this way. My advice is to stick to one school of thought, or, as I said before, try the for Dummies series. Again, one last word for this book, it's a quick reference and not a comprehensive guide. I recommend it only if you've had some exposure to the art. It has many handy and quick hints.

best beginner book around - great gift, 8 Nov 2000
By Samba "santacruzgirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Dos and Taboos (Paperback)
This is an excellent beginner book and is nice and small so it is easy to read in the bath-tub. I have given a bunch of my friends this book who are interested in learning about feng shui. It does not overwhelm them and isn't expensive. They can look up topics alphabetically and get simple instructions. Now they have gained more interest in feng shui and have moved on to more complex books. For such a small book, it contains more information than a lot of larger books because it concise and straight-forward.

The silliest tips on Feng Shui, 8 July 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Dos and Taboos (Paperback)
While not purported to be a very serious look at Feng Shui - it still is one of the silliest books I've seen. Most of the information in there has nothing to do with Feng Shui and the few items that do are not adequately explained to the reader as to why or how you should do something. The author is also found on many Feng Shui websites as being a fraud because she is associated with a relatively new school Black Sect Tantric Tibetan Buddhist School of Feng Shui - founded about 20 years ago. While I find nothing offensive about this school of Feng Shui it is not considered very accurate and traditional but rather something adapted to sell in the Western culture. While I am Western - I live in Hong Kong - the Feng Shui capital of the world. I bought a series of books to begin to understand the practice - as almost all buildings here are developed / designed with Feng Shui in mind. My Chinese friends and staff laughed at this book. I keep it in my guest room as a coaster on the bed table.
