A Manual of Acupuncture - Peter Deadman

One of the best Acupuncture resources written in the English language

The single point and body area illustrations alone make this book worth purchasing, not to mention the invaluable commentary and detailed research on points of the twelve primary meridians, the Conception and Governing vessels, as well as extra points.

This book is truly a treasure and definitive resource in the world of Acupuncture. No one wanting to become more serious about acupuncture should be without this book.
