Massage: The Ultimate Illustrated Guide Hardcover – March 1, 1999

I like learning the proper way to massage

This book is excellent for families. From intimate couples massage, to pregnancy, labor, and infant massage, it takes you through all the stages of family life. I have given this book in a bridal shower basket with oil and candles with great comments, especially when their first child was born a few years later. Wonderful details and vivid photos.

If you are looking for a good massage book, you should buy this one. It's an excellent guide, the photographs are really helpful and it helps you transmit "good vibrations" using the massage. It's a very complete guide with information about Thai, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Chinese, Indian and Swedish Massage. Very helpful for beginners!

A good book, very thorough and without a doubt the best one to buy if you happen to be able to relax by looking at pictures of other people relaxing. Great enormous glossy photographs of happy, attractive adults and cute babies. Neat bits about massage from other cultures. Lots of fun little details, but little real reason to separate out chapters as the author does. But no matter; the book is great to read and might actually teach you something about massage.
