Roads to Recovery: Resource Book for Persons with AIDS

Roads to Recovery, an 860-page looseleaf compendium of AIDS information from a PWA perspective, has been compiled by Jeremy Bell and published by Face to Face, an AIDS service organization in Sonoma County, California.
The articles selected represent many points of view-- including mainstream medicine, minority medical views such as some of the syphilis theories, and spiritual approaches. Most of the material concerns treatment options, especially non- approved or alternative treatments. Chapters on "AIDS 101" (basic background information), coping, doctor-patient relationships, legal issues, a glossary, and resource lists also are included.
The high price, mainly to pay for photocopying over 800 pages, and the mass of material and mixture of different viewpoints will deter some from using this book.
We think that Roads to Recovery will be most useful as a reference. Libraries, service organizations, support and study groups, and individuals who want in-depth information or who have limited information available in their localities may want a copy.
Roads to Recovery, provided in looseleaf form to allow future updating, is available for $50. donation ($65. for
hospitals, institutions, or physicians) from Face to Face, Roads to Recovery Project, P.O. Box 1599, Guerneville, CA 95446. Please include $6. for shipping and handling. This project is a fundraiser for the PWA Emergency Fund. For more information, phone (707) 887-1581.
