- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021It's what I wanted and came quickly
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021Very happy with this purchase in good shape, like new.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2008This book answers countless questions I had while in school,demystifies how acupoints create their effects and has improved my treatment design hugely. After reading the Table of Contents and sampling sections of the book I decided to read it from cover to cover. I know its expensive but its a lot cheaper than a single 3 semester hour course and contains the knowledge of several courses.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016I love this book! I learned so much channel theory from this source that wasn't taught to me in school!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024The book was packaged in plastic and came in great condition.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2014Great book , I am a professor of TCM.
Only I was sad that corners were bent when delivered.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2009This is a must have for all Acupunture students. Great visual pictures and outlines as well as theoretical description that makes sense and puts things into perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic info not found in many good acupuncture books
The book has answered a question that I have searched for years to get answer to in the field of acupuncture. I pondered two or three times about purchasing this amazing book. Mainly because of the cost. But it’s worth every penny. It brings so many aspects of acupuncture theory together in such a really clarified way. His explanations are really down to earth, no high faulting way of writing.
After I came across the knowledge found in Giovanni Maciocia‘s books and on line. I found that It is so advanced and but so easy to read. My previous purchase of Giovanni‘s books was ˋClinical Pearlś. And that is also a real Pearl of knowledge. Giovanni I believe is now deceased. But if I am right he left a wealth of valuable information for the benefit of learners and more advanced acupuncturists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un must en tu biblioteca MTC
Como todos los libros de Maciocia, muy bien elaborado y estructurado.
La pena es que solo está en inglés. Pero si no tienes problemas en la lectura, comprátelo.
