"A fabulous resource and very readable" according to Courtney L. Lewis. The word "comprehensive" may have been invented to describe this book - it definitely is an encyclopedia, not just in its alphabetic listing and cross-references, but also in its breadth of knowledge. Unless you are a bodywork specialist, this book probably has much more than you would ever want to know. Five Stars :)
