Inspiring books on ageing and elderhood

If you do not want to purchase a book or CD from Amazon or Abe (who are owned by Amazon) check out Hive.co.uk who sell books, DVDs, CDs and Vinyl, delivery is free in the UK to you home or local bookshop. They give a percentage of the purchase price to a local bookshop which purchaser can nominate. For secondhand books take a look at World of Books Another option for new books is Bookshop.org who also give a decent percentage to local bookshops. Note: I have no connection with these companies, just a customer!
