Review: "Alzheimer's at your fingertips will certainly help anyone whose life has been touched by Alzheimer's. In question and answer format, it covers every aspect of the disease's effects." -- Bernice Davison, Evening Standard

"...absolutely superb for...carers because although it gives such splendid advice as to how they should cope with the one they care for it never steps on their toes or makes them feel guilty. It also answers all the questions that we are asked continually..." -- Audrey Lees, Alzheimer's Disease Society UK

"A book which I am certain will become a Bible for the ever-increasing number of people who have Alzheimer's problems in the family." -- Katie Boyle

"Alzheimer's at your fingertips needed to be written, and could scarcely have been better done...nothing is too technical to have daunted the authors, all is simplified without distortion, and where there is uncertainty it is not hidden but an honest judgement is offered." -- Professor Tom Arie CBE, MA, BM, FRCPsych, FFPHM, RASA Age Care

"An authoritative book giving information and advice to carers." -- The Daily Mirror

"An excellent book that will be useful to many people who look after those with dementia." -- Dr John Wattis MD FRCPsych, Chairman of the Old Age Section of the Royal College of Psychiatry

"Answers to hundreds of questions are contained in an indispensable new handbook, Alzheimer's at your fingertips." -- Jenny Hope, The Daily Mail

"It is a wonderful compendium of questions that are so often asked...I have read many many books on Alzheimer's and I must say I believe this is the most practical one I have seen." -- Jerome H Stone, Founder and Honorary Vice President of Alzheimer's Disease International, Founder of Alzheimer's Association USA

"Many congratulations on a really useful book...One of its strong points is the ever-present spirit of compassion for sufferer and carer alike. Thank you most warmly...for what you have done...to help carers." -- Ewart Myer, Former Carer

"The style of standing in the shoes of a potential sufferer, the families of sufferers and those in the community with an interest in posing all the questions that bug and worry people will I'm sure prove a most practical guide to Alzheimer's." -- Baroness Blatch CBE
