Point Location

A Manual of Acupuncture - Peter Deadman and Mazin Al-Khafaji with Kevin Baker (big heavy book) Points cards also available, DVD also available (good, lots of info and learning tools the actual video is not as good as the silence speaks one though)

TCM
Foundations of Chinese Medicine - Maciocia (The standard textbook in many colleges. All his books are good, but I think expensive and rather prescriptive)

Others
The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine - Jarrett (some find this too flowery but I really like it, a great blend of TCM/5E & more. Good on the major blocks to treatment too)

Insights of a Senior Acupuncturist - Miriam Lee (Great book, how to treat everything with just 5 points!)


Auriculotherapy Manual - Olson (The best ear acupuncture book, Chart also available)


ACI/Cun (Newman) locator - worsleyinstitute.com (costs about $45 but you may find its worth it, one of my graduates has a couple - e mail me)
