Why you should buy this book:
1. If you want to teach yourself massage.
2. If you massage school gave you a crappy Milady's massage book, or worse, their own hand written, poorly illustrated version.
3. If you really want to own a great massage therapy reference.
Why I think its so great:
The illustrations and visuals, give you everything you need to know to massage any area of the body. They have created a much more 3-d experience to learning massage from a book and translating that experience to a real body. ANYONE can learn from this book. Its an incredible resource. I don't know why every school doesn't use this book! If you are in school -- buy it!
I borrowed this from my library before purchasing it.
It is a must for an massage therapist, bodyworker, or closet healer!
Also great for National exam review.

I have been using 'Doc' Clay's book as a reference for massage work, and it still stands as the best book for helping a therapist 'see' the muscles they are trying to work on.
What you get in this book, is a reference book that shows the client, the therapist's hands on the client, and the muscles superimposed on the picture of the client. This makes this book an excellent reference book for me, as well as a client-education tool. The book takes you through each part of the body, from the head all the way to the foot. In each section, you get a picture, of the area in question, with the ligaments and muscles superimposed on. You will also get a picture with the therapist's hand/s on and get a good view of what needs to be done.
On top of that, the book does function as a functional anatomy guide, as it does set out in point form, the attachment and action of the muscles in question, the possible referral areas if any, and a guide to other muscles to examine.
Overall, this is a must-have on every therapists desk.
