Alphabetical listing of book reviews
- 10 Simple Solutions to Migraines
If good things come in small packages, "10 Simple Solutions to Migraines" partially fits the bill. The book is 5" by 7½" and contains 143 pages. It's purpose is to offer some good strageties for dealing with Migraines, offered in a straight forward, no nonsense style. It's a good attempt, but falls a bit short.
