To make it easy for
you to buy some(*) of these books,
Starting from August's orders, I'll provide links
with each book ( to Amazon.com )

books were ordered by Internet... ) |
In contrast to the rest of this library, this section of Patrick's
NLP Library is completely virtual. It contains
books that I have ordered from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or
another bookstore. Once they are delivered, they will probably be
reviewed and added to the appropriate section of Patrick's
Library. Books can stay in this section for quite a while: Since
I live in Europe and order my books by "surface-mail",
it can take 6 to 8 weeks before I receive the books. And then I
need to find time to review them...
Apart from the books on this page, there are some NLP books from
which I requested a review copy, but some authors (such as
currently Bandler and John La Valle) seem too afraid to send me
one. That's why I don't mention these books on this page: my
guess it that if the author doesn't want to send it, the quality
won't be good...)
This page can also be interesting if you want feedback about
the time it takes to get books delivered to Europe... and about
cost (I have the impression that Amazon gives (a bit) more
discounts, where Barnes & Noble charges less for shipping).

I completed my library on the
sections of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive
linguistics & cognitive grammar. Also, I bought some books
that are related to NLP (in the sense that NLP-authors refered to
these books). While looking for all these books, I also stumbled
by some other books I couldn't resist. Finally I added the
upcoming book of Goleman to my shopping cart (not released yet,
but you can pre-order it from Amazon). I guess this purchase will
keep me busy for some weeks...

The books by Alan Watts were
recommended to me by Peter Van Damme, one of my former bosses who
became a good friend. The book by Miller is the one describing
the TOTE model; the one of Systems Theory is one of the Basic
books in that area. (Since some of the books weren't available
right away, I guess it will be about 15 october by the time I
actually have these books in my hands).

I've been willing to buy the books
from Wolinsky and from Watzlawick for a while, but each time I
looked for them in the bookstore I didn't have much success. I'd
also like to have copies of the Ginder books, but I know they
have been out of print. I'm curious to know if I'll ever get
them...

I wanted to buy the books from
Maturana and Varela while I was in Santa Cruz last summer (1997),
but at that time I couldn't find them in any of the 4 large
bookstores the center of Santa Cruz counts (and in 2 or 3 other
stores in the area). Meanwhile, I learned that an average
bookstore has about 150.000 books in stock, compared to 3 Million
for Amazon.com ... The Vaihinger book also stays on my wish-list,
so I gave it another try.

Its time that I start studying the
DSM guide, so I ordered some books on this topic. DSM is the
"official" guide to mental illnesses in the USA. If it
ain't in there, it doesn't exist... Strange that the number of
illnesses has more than doubled since 1968.
Ordering from Barnes & Noble
seems to cost me less in shipping, but the books could be more
expensive. Sorry if the titles are abreviated and if the author
is missing: I just used "cut and paste" from the
confirmation e-mail and Barnes & Noble gives you less
information than Amazon.com.
