I am considering purchasing a few different books. But before I drop even more money on additional material I wanted to see if anyone out there has read these books and if you'd recommend them or not. I am a current MT student.

I'm looking at the following books:
Body Mechanics for Manual Therapists by Frye
Dynamic Bodyuse for Effective, Strain-free Massage by Darien Pritchard
Tappan's Handbook of Healing Massage Techniques by Patricia Benjamin
Concise Book of Muscles by Chris Jarmey
Basic Clinical Massage Therapy by James Clay

Pritchard's book is the best book on body mechanics and injury prevention ever written for massage/manual therapists. I love it!

Clay's clinical massage therapy book is okay on content but has exceptional illustrations that I consider to be more informative than the text. Don't get me wrong - for a student it's going to be full of awesome material, and is well worth acquiring. As your needs change, so will the way you use this book.
