The precision of organization is very welcomed and much appreciated! This was recommended by my Acupressure teacher and I'm very glad to add it to my collection of active resources. Review: Best Reference for its Niche, but consider the DVD multimedia version. - A very well conceived, comprehensive and organized text of acupuncture, for the whole journey from beginning to advanced practice. It provides a very rich and in depth summary of information about each point, both in terms of modern usage and plus selected highlights from the classical chinese texts. There is more specific detail on each point in this manual than I have found in any other source, including for the extra points. It is a delightful resource to just read. The language is clear, straightforward and does not bog down in overly heavy detail either. It is well enough organized to assist in problem solving for particular conditions. But, I recommend searching a little further and considering an even richer treasure -- the DVD multimedia verison of this same Manual. It contains everything in the printed text plus some additional enhancements. On the DVD, it is generally easier to appreciate the organization of points by their meridians, their inter-relationships and to follow well-designed sections detailing out the anatomy of critical landmarks such as the spinous processes, ribs, and other bony landmarks. Both the text and DVD contain thorough coverage on precautions to take when needling near organs. Both have extensive charts, historical information and cross-referencing by indications. The interactive study tools in the DVD version and the ability to construct your own practice tests, as well as the ease of computer-added search make the digital version my favorite over the printed text. One Caveat: It is important to know that the DVD employs frustrating DRM limitations which require that the user keep the DVD in their disk drive anytime they want to use the program. I find this intermittently slows down acquisition of a link and occasionally necessitates rebooting the entire computer due to some odd hangup. Printed texts fortunately bypass these irritations. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #95,417 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Chinese Medicine #42 in Acupuncture & Acupressure (Books) #4,727 in Medical Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (412) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 2.25 x 11.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0951054651 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0951054659 | | Item Weight | 6.25 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 675 pages | | Publication date | June 25, 2007 | | Publisher | Journal of Chinese Medicine Publications | ## Images ![A Manual of Acupuncture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jWsYXErGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource! *by A***L on September 22, 2025* There is a reason this is considered a seminal work.

Good printing Good paper. *by S***Y on June 6, 2016* Before going into the academic review, i have to tell you how much i love the printing and the paper! Best quality in any textbook for medicine, western or chinese. Paper is thick, soft to touch. Print color is gentle on eyes. Even the fonts look great. Academia : While the best teacher in medicine is our patients, this book is a nice starting point for the newly initiated into the world of acupuncture. Nothing really great or so special that it surpasses all other texts, but good enough to be on your shelf as one of the main "utility" textbook. Good references throughout every chapter. I feel more reassured when reading this book compared to others with scantier references. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Manual of Acupuncture - Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion (4th Edition, First Printing, October 2019) - The Foundations of Chinese Medicine: A Comprehensive Text --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1534715-a-manual-of-acupuncture](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1534715-a-manual-of-acupuncture) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
