Ready, Set, Organize! by Pipi Campbell Peterson with Mary Campbell.
Review: This book is especially valuable because it gives much more than
just organizing tips. It outlines an organizing SYSTEM, based on your values
and needs, that can last a lifetime. There's a lot of humor but the book is
serious about organizing, from closets to home offices to kids' school papers
to other important papers -- insurance policies, financial records, etc.

Herbs: Growing and Using the Plants of Romance, by Bill and Sylvia Varney;
edited by Scott Millard and Mary Campbell. Ironwood Press, Tucson.
Review: It is... exactly what we were looking for. It tells about the herb,
[its] history, how to plant it, ...[varieties], and how to use it.... So many
times I would have to be looking at 3 books to get just such information. The
recipes are very useful too. It's great to go to the nursery now [and] pick
out an herb that isn't oregano, basil, parsley, etc., and know exactly how I
am going to... use it. This book gave me so many ideas beyond adding the
herb to salads or teas. (amazon.com) A Doubleday Book Club Main Selection

    Review published in Consumer Health Connection, a publication of the Medical Library Association
    Devgan, Uday.  Cataract Surgery: A Patient’s Guide to Cataract Treatment. Addicus Books, 2008. 121 p. Index. ISBN 978-1-886039-
    94-0. $21.95. (Mary Campbell, ghostwriter and researcher)

    Dr. Uday Devgan, Chief of Ophthalmology at UCLA Medical Center and Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA School of Medicine, has
    written a concise overview of cataract surgery.   The format is logical, moving from anatomy and definitions to causes and risk factors
    to surgery and recovery.  A 19-page glossary defines words printed in italics throughout the text. The type is large, with a lot of white
    space, which will be appreciated by those with cataracts themselves. Many clear illustrations and photos show eyes pre- and post-
    surgery, equipment used in surgery, and what the world looks like with and without cataracts.

    of a sixty- to ninety-year-old patient to that of a forty-year-old.  An explanation of the differences between an ophthalmologist,
    optometrist, and optician is included, which will be helpful to patients who never needed eye care before.  He is in agreement with
    the National Eye Institute and the American Academy of Ophthalmology when he states that surgery is the only effective way to treat
    cataracts.  He then proceeds to outline different surgical options, many with names like phacomoemulsification that he patiently
    explains syllable by syllable, exploring the benefits and risks of each [surgical option].  

    A resource list is included, but bibliographic references are lacking, prompting me to check a few data points (which were accurate).
    Cataract Surgery is a welcome addition to consumer health collections. —Cara Helfner, MSLIS, Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA

    Devgan, Uday, M.D. Cataract Surgery: A Patient’s Guide to Cataract Treatment. Addicus. Feb. 2009. c.136p. illus. index. ISBN 978-
    1-886039-94-0. pap. $19.95. HEALTH (Mary Campbell, ghostwriter and researcher)

    Verdict: A comprehensive guide to how cataracts form, their diagnosis, and treatment options. This book would be very useful in
    consumer health collections and a good addition to any public library with a large middle-aged or older clientele.

    Background: Repairing clouded vision is the most commonly practiced surgical process in the United States; the surgery is quick,
    essentially painless, and effective the majority of the time. Devgan (associate clinical professor, Jules Stein Eye Inst., UCLA) provides a
    lucid explanation of the procedure, complete with an extensive medical glossary featuring a large print for readers with vision
    impairment.—Elyse Pike, Health Sciences Lib., Grey Bruce Health Svcs., Owen Sound, Ont., Canada
