An excellent book for those who are new to reiki but are fed up with the thin uninspiring books that can be found on this topic. There is a lot in this and it is written in a very clear way with plenty of photographs and illustrations. The author is level headed and does not try to steer you towards any particular views on reiki, nor is she obviously religious in any way unlike some other writers who say that reiki isn't religious yet discuss it with religious vocabulary. It is not off putting and new-agey either!
Almost everything you need to know about the topic is covered but you won't find the symbols here.
Inside are also a couple of meditations and breathing techniques which I found very useful.
This 'bible' summarises all the facts you need to know and is currently up to date.
It's a great reference book to dip into, but if you are a reiki master, there probably isn't a lot you don't know, although this would be a good book to recommend to your students.
