Dr. Tom Linden's Guide to Online Medicine
by Tom Linden, M.D. and Michelle L. Kienholz
McGraw-Hill (ISBN: 0-07-038055-4)

What can I say about this book? It offers a personal guide to many, many medical resources found available online, including the big commercial services. And it doesn't limit itself to just the Web, but includes discussion groups as well as regional BBS's that address specific problems and disorders. It's a fascinating travel guide to the online world, and offers step-by-step "how-to's" for the beginner. It even breaks up the monotony of simply listing resources by offering personal reviews of each resource, as well as personal stories by the people who maintain or use the resources (including yours truly).

The Self-Help Sourcebook
Compiled and Edited by Barbara J. White & Edward J. Madara
6th Edition (ISBN: 0963432206, ISSN: 8756-1425)

This is a wonderful guide for people looking to find or form mutual aid self-help groups in their local community. I find that it is a well-written and an invaluable resource. It lists, by topical categories, all the self-help support groups known in various communities across the United States.
