Dear Salvatore,
How are you?
I have been asked by some friends who work in leprosy control in Guatemala to recommend the books on leprosy needed to up date their library. Which ones would you recommend? These colleagues speak Spanish or English.
Besides books, I will recommend journals like the Leprosy Review and the Fontilles journal. It is bad that the International Journal of Leprosy and other Mycobacterial Diseases (from the ILA) is not longer been published. Do you know any other journal on leprosy worth to recommend?
I plan to invited them to the LML. Also I will let them know about web pages like ILA, ILEP, WHO, AIFO etc. Do you know any other? What else would you suggest?

I would like to know what will members of the LML have to suggest also?
Thanks in advance.
