I was planning to wait until I'd finished the book before I reviewed it, but it's been so very helpful so far, and it would be a terrible shame if someone who might benefit from it never noticed it.

When I was first diagnosed with AMD, it felt like the end of the world. What on earth could be worse than for someone who loves books, and reading, than to lose the ability to do so? After a couple of months I came to my senses, and started looking for resources. Rather than buy a bunch of random books from Amazon, I decided to see what the library had, and checked out a couple that seemed likely. One of them wasn't much, and basically told me a lot that I already knew, and little that I didn't.

This book, on the other hand, was written by someone who actually *has* AMD, and even though it was written a LONG time ago (in 2006, more than a decade ago), it's still filled with useful, positive, and truly helpful advice. There's a website from the author of the book (http://www.mdsupport.org/), but I'm not sure of its current status (since it hasn't been updated since 2013).

This is a great book, positive, and filled with useful information. Sure, things have changed in the last decade, but the suggestions in this book are still timely, and it's just been a lifesaver in its approach and message. ( )
