2.		The Alzheimer's Answer: Reduce Your Risk and Keep Your Brain Healthy from Wiley Price: $8.09 Customer Review: This book provides good general information but needs some fact checking.

9.		The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $5.75 Customer Review: First a complaint: the book is repetitious. The first fifty pages, in particular, could have been cut by half, as the authors' central message is repeated, and repeated again.

Ice Cream in the Cupboard: A True Story of Early Onset Alzheimer's from Morgan James Publishing Price: $15.25 Customer Review: This is a very informative book and should be read by anyone who is dealing with being a caregiver to a loved one who has Alzheimer's.

19.		Conversations with Ed: Waiting for Forgetfulness: Why Are We So Afraid of Alzheimer's Disease? from Elders Academy Press Price: $19.50 Customer Review: The book seems good for the first stages of Alzheimer's for the patient and caregiver-- but no later. I feel that Nader has a dog in the race for this publication---advertising the respect and care of his own elder care facilities. But...that does not discount the book really. It is a marketing tool... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.	[no image]	Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer's Story from Thorndike Press Price: $8.75 Customer Review: Pierce's instinct is to tell a story. He sets a scene, he gives us characters and conflict and dialogue, and makes reading about dementia an adventure.

He opens the story of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
