Every month Helen Finch at Mind, the mental-health charity, sends me an email about its new books, any special offers and news from the organisation. Contact with Mind, and other similar organisations, is a hangover from the days when ADSET put together the leaflets for Information for Social Inclusion (IfSI). However, I still maintain that contact and will, perhaps, maybe, one day put IfSI information online.
The purpose of these meanderings? I thought you might like to know about the following new books.
Finding Jericho
