TMSWiki:About Books & DVDs, etc. Pages
From The TMS Wiki
Books, DVDs, and workbooks can be a great resource for TMS patients and have a significant impact on a person's recovery. While the wiki has several pages for specific books only a few of these are considered complete and at an acceptable level of quality. We strongly encourage any additions to book pages.
Suggested Content

- Write a brief summary of the work and describe how it relates to TMS
- Links to Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Wikipedia's ISBN pages.
- If possible include a table of contents in the page
- One of the most beneficial aspects to add is reviews of the book. Quality reviews make the pages substantially better.

- About the author information can be extremely helpful in letting users know more about the work
