Gary Minns, Still the Best Tongue Diagnosis Book

This book is one of the Great Man’s earlier, and cheaper, offerings (being first published in 1987). As expected from Maciocia, there is a huge amount of detail with entire chapters devoted to the three key tongue diagnosis areas: tongue body colour, tongue body shape and tongue coating. A number of simple black & white drawings decorate the text and are generally clear and very useful. There is also an informative section containing case histories.

There are quite a few books on tongue diagnosis around but this one remains the best, even after more than 20 years in print.
