USER REVIEWS
"This book is very small!! So small that I almost cant read the print. This would be a good gage gift or if you want to take this book on a date and not have the other person know it's in your back pocket or purse. Due to the size this book has only 4 chapters but is 128 pages long. This book isn't very helpful at all due to the fact you can barely read or see it. I thought I was getting a great deal for this book but I found I have great disappointment instead."

"This product is garbage.
If you look at the picture it says Miniature Edition.
It is NOT the same as the Full Edition of this book by the same name.
it really just went right in the garbage.
it told me NOTHING useful.....
I saw the Full Edition in a book store & that is the one you want..."

"THIS REVIEW CONCERNS ONLY THE MINIATURE EDITION!!!!!!!
Okay it's partly my own fault for not paying closer attention to the very small picture of the cover that says "Miniature Editions" and ordering this one. However, having read the book in all of 10 minutes or so, it's USELESS. Do not buy it for any reason. Spend the extra 10 bucks for the full version. I knew more about massage before reading it. All this does is let you sound like you have half a clue standing around the watercooler. "

"I bought this book for my 12-year-old daughter, who is interested in becoming a masseuse. The book has a lot of different techniques, including reflexology, massage for babies and massage for animals. Unfortunately, our cat was not amenable to the techniques described.
She researches each body part and experiments her implemented techniques on (quite willing) family members. The photos, diagrams and explanations are at her level and she very much enjoys it."
