Talking With John

I spoke with John McManamy yesterday and just wanted to update you all on how well his book is doing. The answer is quite well. According to John, it's sold out of its first printing of 7,500 copies and the publisher is ordering another print run of 1,500 books, which I suspect they will add to very soon. Usually the measure of a new book—assuming the rules of the biz haven't changed that much since the mid-90s—is how quickly it sells its first 10,000 copies. John will get very close to that inside of one month. So if you haven't looked at Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder and bought it, then go right here.

As I've noted before, it thrills me no end to see a patient write a book like his and step into the province that has long been dominated by doctors.
