Summary: Disappointing
Comment: The authors ought to provide an index that relates the source herbs and the chemical compounds, so readers can know the active ingredients of each herb. Missing this most important index, I find the book almost useless.

On the other hand, the 3 indexes of names seem redundant.

All in all, the book seems under-prepared yet overpriced.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I was disappointed at the fact that several cross references that I happened to find are missing or incomplete. Mistakes of this kind are easy to correct and the authors should have done so before it was published. It was good to see the chemical structures of some constituents of Chinese Medicines being available in the book. However,judging from the title of the book, one would normally expect to see a similar amount of pages are dedicated to the medicinal applications of the medicines. Sadly, this is not the case in this book. Too brief and rough is the word for this part. It, therefore, seems to me that the book promises lots, yet delivers a little and is overpriced.
