The Third Edition has pages missing by Mary MacNicol

1 Stars
April 11, 2009
I just received my new hardbound Third Edition of this amazing book to find a sheaf of stapled pages enclosed with the book in plastic to replace p. 713-727. They are not IN the book, but loose, outside it. I didn't decide to pay for a new, updated edition to have 13 pages floating free on my bookshelf. I pay for books, already bound, so I don't have to keep track of loose pages. I found this publishing decision to be unacceptable (although I do have sympathy for the publishers, who had a tough decision to make late in the publishing process to fix someone's mistake.) The shining star here is Amazon customer service (in whatever distant asian country they are-they're not native US English speakers and it took two tries to get any workable phone connection) who have promised to send book return information and authorization via email. (And, lo and behold, it's just arrived while I was typing this. Good work, folks.)

The only (and best) soft tissue book by its Master by G. Lane (USA)

5 Stars
August 27, 2008
Warren Hammer is the biggest name in soft tissue work. He is still its biggest name and pretty much considered the master in the field. The book is both intellectual and practical. He presents the purpose behind each test and assessment and the functional basis for problems. This book is "one-stop shopping" for people in manual medicine.
