The Spa SourceBook is the first spa book I've read that truly looks at spas from the point of view of a spa-goer, someone who is looking for the things that spas can offer - healthy eating, fitness, stress management, and pampering.  People with all levels of spa experience will benefit from the depth of information presented.  It's not a directory of spas.  It focuses on the spa experience.  It answers questions like Why Go to a Spa?, Do I have to be Naked?, What is Spa Etiquette?, How Do I Decide on Classes and Services?, Should I Tip?, and What if Something Doesn't Seem Right?  Lazarus helps the reader define his/her spa goals then helps figure out how and where to meet them.  "Insider Tips" in sidebars and "A Day At" boxes that feature typical schedules at a variety of spas appear throughout the book.  Chapters are devoted to to the various spa offerings - fitness, mental and spiritual pursuits, body treatments, massage therapies, beauty services, and spa cuisine.  The center contains lovely color pictures of typical spa scenes.  The book wraps up with spa history, a glossary, and resources.  The Spa SourceBook was a book that needed to be written and Judith Lazarus has done a great job.
