  • Not impressed
    Like the other, I read the reveiws of the previous purchasers here and very positive to click buy right away. However, when I got the book and (excitedly) read it I didn't find any special content from another TCM diagnosis book I had. This book is just translated from the Chinese principle of diagnosis text and the language they use is very strange. The reason is that, as a TCM student, I think this book (the translator) uses different vocab from the other standard TCM Text and also there is less tongue... more info

  • ::Cough Cough sputter sputter::

    Okay, well, I am not alone in my assesment of this book. This book creeps along at an alarmingly slow pace, and the Chinese to English translation leaves me thinking that... well, something may have been lost in translation. They use some English words in a rather arcane way, and you have to stop, think, decode, and move on to the next sentence. Definitely not my first choice--I think this up there with my assesment of CAM.

  • good, but not my first choice
    When this book first came out, it filled a definite deficiency of English language texts about TCM diagnostics. While it is an excellent text, if one has to choose to buy only one text on diagnosis in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), I would highly recommend Giovanni Maciocia's Diagnosis In Chinese Medicine. That text is much more comprehensive and immensely more practical. That aside, Tie-Tao Deng's book is still a valuable item in my TCM library.

  • Single best book on Chinese medical diagnostics
    In my opinion, this is the single best book currently available on Chinese medical diagnostics. I think it is far better than Giovanni Maciocia's book on the same subject. Deng Tie-tao is an incontrovertible master of the art, and this book is considered a standard in the PRC. This is the real deal.
