New books - anxious to read

Posted by sjb on February 24, 2004, at 14:37:18

I just did a search (by release date) on new books on depression at Amazon.com and there looks to be some very interesting ones. Hopefully, my library will pick up some, if not, I will buy some that I think look particulary promising and let you know.

It would be nice if we could have a Babble-brary in order to share books. Of course, setting that up financially and logistically would be problematic.

True, it would be a challenge!

What you could do, though, is ask your local public library to purchase some or all of the books on your list, and then sign up to reserve them when they come in.

Yeah, think I'll do that. Fits is with my cheap, ahem, frugal ways.

 

inter-library loan

Don't forget about inter-library loan. I think virtually every public library (and all academic ones) has some "ILL". It can take weeks & weeks, which is the downside, but it's still faster than getting the library to buy a copy.

It costs the library shipping fees, but that too is cheaper to the system than buying the book.
