Just get something cheap, or go to the libary to begin with.
When you decide on the course you want, then you can get the books suggested.
Reading from too mnay authors can be confusing in the beginning, its best to stick to one or two until you have more knowledge.

The books i have are relevant to my course (and expensive)
If you are looking for information that will help you decide on wether to undergo training, anything will do.
There are many branches and styles of acupunture available so a specific book is hard to suggest.

Do you know exactly what you type of reading your require.

Giovanni Maciocia & Peter Deadman are very well regarded authors of Chinese Medicine.

This one seems simple and cheap on Amazon
