It is with great sadness that I come to the end of this remarkable book. It is, in itself, a remarkable wellspring of bibliotherapy. It is a book that I will return to many times, for in between the titles it lists its authors offer gems of wisdom and remedies for many ailments. While reading it I became aware of how ill read I am. That is something that I will remedy and I thank
Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin for their insight.
