Review by a board certified reflexology ( nahuilove )
I read almost every reflexology book available during my reflexology certification process. If you were to only buy one book on reflexology, I would recommend it be The Reflexology Atlas. It is the most comprehensive text on the subject, and has superior illustrations of the reflex points.
Especially impressive and valuable to the reader or practitioner are the illustrations. Drawings of the bones of the feet as well as the reflex points are superimposed over photographs of the feet and/or hands. The photographs in the book are extraordinarily helpful. These are probably the most helpful reflexology maps that I have seen or used. The body's organs are also represented as color illustrations superimposed over photographs of the body which is quite helpful for readers learning about human anatomy. Reflex points are highlighted on photographs of the feet from many different perspectives, helping students to learn where reflex points are to be found on the sides of the feet and ankles, as well as on the dorsal (top) side of the foot.
The text is easy to understand, and does a good job explaining the background of reflexology as a healing modality. By following the text and photographs readers will learn how to perform a full reflexology session. A detailed discussion (with illustrations) of reflex points on the hands and ears are also included. Massage, acupuncture, and shiatsu are also touched upon.

The Reflxology Atlas
I think this book gives good insight and instruction on the pratice of reflexology. I was curious about the concepts that are used in its practice. I found the book to be informative and comprehensive,and do recomment it to others who are interested in the subject.

excellent resource
I'm a professional Massage Therapist and Reflexologist and this is an excellent resource to use for my students. This book also covers the meridians, although I wish that aspect was a bit more exact in showing it on the anatomy. Very comprehensive. Packed with lots of good info including some ear. Big book size wise. Kind of quirky as I think the authors are European and some wording is not congruent, but all the info is very accurate. Excellent resource especially if you want more than just the basics.

 Excellent Guide
This step-by-step manual is easy to use. The pictures enhance the directions, which are concise and easy to follow. This is a perfect book for those who wish to learn Reflexology on their own, as well as for those who wish to refresh their knowledge of the skill. I would recommend use of this book to both current and new healers.

Reflexology Atlas
I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He is a massage therapist. I was very impressed by the book. It is very complete, and easy to understand. The illustrations and pictures are awesome. He loved the book as much as I did. It's an excellent reference. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic, or involved in massage therapy.
