Nice and easy to use SapphireTigress 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.. Thorough and insightful Another wonderful book by Steve Capellini regarding massage. This one is good especially for the consumer looking for good massages and how to find them, and receive them, and understand massage. There's info in there as well for massage therapists. Steve's got a great attitude and humor.. Good for beginners Ryan Dennis I bought this book to learn about the art of giving a massagemy wife pestered me to no end to give her a massage, and would complain about it when I DID attempt to do it.This book is useful. It covers the basics of kneading, gliding, etc. For someone with no knowledge about massages it is a good starter. And, it got my wife off my case (for the time being).I did not find the whole part about "How to receive a massage" to be usefulanyone can receive a massage and enjoy it, so why write a whole chapter on the subject?-R294
