USER REVIEWS
"Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture is a book that has color pictures, you can see the arteries and veins that are close to the acu-point.
All jing well points are color with green.
There is a slight difference how deep you have to insert the needle in some points. If you check Cam and Deadmen books and compare you will know what I`m talking about.
I think is worth to invest in this book . I like the size of the book because I can put it in my lab cot and if I forgot where is the point I will open my cute pocket book, go to the page and I will be save.

"This is a great book, and I am still kicking myself for having bought a different book first.
Some pros:
- This book contains ALL the points, not just the "important" ones
- The categories, functions, and indications for each point are listed
- The pictures are full-color drawings and include all the underlying structures (muscles, bones, etc), not just surface anatomy -- and they are high quality DRAWINGS and not photographs (having a photo of a naked woman for illustration purposes [found in a similar-looking acupuncture atlas] may be helpful, but not so when you have to take the train or bus to school and have to constantly cover up your pages)
- The paper is high-quality glossy paper that will stand up to years of flipping through the pages
- There is a FANTASTIC general information section in the beginning of the book, with some of the best 3D pulse illustrations I've ever seen
I hope this was helpful!!"
