Many of us know the difficulties of trying to learn Pilates exercises from books, but this one has very clear photographs, and useful boxes of information to back up the general directions. It is good to feel this comes direct from Alan Herdman who has taught so many Pilates teachers. I found the self-assessment section useful, and the pictures of studio equipment slightly scary, but no doubt very useful if I ever manage to get to a proper Pilates studio.

A colleague at work kindly bought this book for me after I'd suffered a near fatal asthma attack (due to stress). This book has provided me with quick, easy reflexology programmes that I use many times a day to relax and is a key part of my recovery. I was sceptical but was willing to try anything and really pleased to have been shown it. Thanks Gail, very much!!

This is a simple and easy to read introduction to Shinto. I found it to be very useful in my research on the subject. Although it's a 'simple' introductory guide, it packs in a lot of information on the subject in a small space. The book gives an historical basis, covers the meaning of the word 'shin-to', deities, paraphernalia, customs of Shinto and so on. I think its a brilliant little book and was far more useful than some other weighter tomes that I read. Straight forward, easy to read and very informative, if you've little or no knowledge of Shinto its a great place to begin learning! Very informative!
