Recenzje

'To call the first textbook of its kind the best is an illogicality...But it must surely be a long time before we see another book on massage as instructive and easy to read as Body Massage for the Beauty Therapist.' - Hair and Beauty

'A modern, practical approach to massage is given in this manual written exclusively for beauty therapists.' - Health and Beauty Salon's Book of the month, October 1996
