	BOOKSTORES
	Amazon - needs no introduction. My books are available through them. Barnes and Noble - again needs no introduction. At one time, they were just a single store located in Manhattan, and carried titles in psychiatry and pschoanalysis that were unavailable elsewhere. John Gach Books - Located in Randallstown, MD, this very special book store stocks titles in Neuroscience, Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, Psychology and Social Thought. These include titles that are difficult to find elsewhere and some rare collectors items.
