Pros: gives good background info, easy to understand, great tips and the ‘don’t forget’ & the ‘in reality’ bits.
Cons: like most factual books probably needs updating.

Super fast delivery, easy pleasant transaction, I got what I paid for many thanks

We bought this as a book because I already have it on Kindle and learnt so much from it. I have early onset dementia so it was relevant for both of us. Myself as the person with dementia and my husband at some point the carer.

A great help in getting to grips with the subject

Bought this book in a hard format as I have a number of customers with varying degrees of dementia and wanted to understand the differences in different types of dementia and progression of the disease a little more. Quite a lot of the book gives advice on benefits and legal stuff which I don’t really need to know so stopped reading when I got a good grip of the actual subject I wanted to know about
by Brian Lerche
Exceptionel well written for “Dummies”. Have all the necessary information and written for layman. The author draws on his personal experience with close relatives. Highly recommended for newly affected families

Read the complete book and learnt loads about the subject. Good balance between the complex information and kept the readability fairly straight forward.
