The "gold standard" of palpatory anatomy texts for bodyworkers. If this text isn't required by your massage school, consider buying it anyway. (various combo packs are also available @ booksofdiscovery.com)

For any serious student, owning a good anatomy atlas is key. I used to favor Netter's, but Thieme's 3-volume atlas is my new favorite. This is the single-volume version.

A great supplement to any myofascial techniques you might study in school. Most of the book is broken down by muscle, describing specific techniques for each-- these are demonstrated in photos with the associated muscles drawn onto the client's body.

An inexpensive introduction to trigger point therapy. It is organized by muscle, with referred pain patterns and treatment suggestions for each. If you are interested in therapeutic/medical massage, this is a great book to get you started before buying Travell & Simons' books.

A concise but engaging and thoughtful discussion of ethics, boundaries, and therapeutic relationship issues for massage therapists.

All of Eric Franklin's books are outstanding; this one focuses on postural exercises/visualizations to help relax the upper body. For people with physically demanding careers, self-care cannot be overemphasized--by creating good habits now, you will help prevent injuries later on. Many of these exercises also make great "homework" for bodywork clients with shoulder/neck issues.
