JCM Review
"Shudo writes in a very humane and open style, which is a pleasure to read. The book is an intimate and friendly read, as if he is there with you, chatting away. ... This book is his legacy, and is a magnificent contribution to our understanding of acupuncture and the nature of point location."
—Journal of Chinese Medicine
"Shudo Denmei has done it again! He has written a book that is easy to read, easy to understand, packed full of information, and clinically invaluable . . . His work has been, and continues to be, seminal. His clarity, honesty, and openness are refreshing and invigorating."
