Good book:
I got this book to go along with another one to aide me in studying for an equine massage therapy course I'm about to take. This book not only has fantastic discriptions of exactly why a certain muscle is so important, but also has some really good illustrations and basically breaks down a certain joint and/or muscle in a mechanical way to really show how they work together. Great book and very decent price.
