Good book
Bought this book because I'm fascinated with herbal/traditional medicine in general, and didn't know too much about the traditional Chinese system. It does a good job of explaining the basics of it, however I knocked off a star because there's no direct symptom-remedy type section, which is really a big part of what I was looking for. Maybe that would go against the whole philosophy of TCM, I don't know. Oh yeah, and the author sort of gave off the vibe that she didn't believe too wholeheartedly in the whole thing, or at least that she believed the Western system was better/more scientific. Again, I could be completely wrong, I don't know anything about her, that's just what it read like to me. On the plus side, there was a lot of information about non-herbal remedies, like acupuncture, acupressure, food cures, tai chi, that sort of thing, which is nice. Also a lot of glossy, full color pictures, which is also a big plus. Recommended.

A New Hope :-)
A friend suggested that I try traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). I bought this book and "Using Traditional Chinese Medicine" for an overview of TCM. It's interesting. This is a fat book and has theory as well as practical application. "Using Traditional Chinese Medicine" is a thinner, "How To" book.
