HAND of the Peninsula is pleased to provide the following information, which has been gathered in an effort to support those who have been touched by the loss of a child, before, during or soon after birth. The short descriptions have come from many sources, brochures, books, sales literature, online information, Amazon.com, and others, and reviews. THE DESCRIPTIONS HAVE NOT ALL BEEN COMPOSED BY, NOR ARE THEY NECESSARILY ORIGINAL WITH THE EDITOR OF THIS MANUSCRIPT.

This catalogue, An Annotated Bibliography for the Resource Lending Library at HAND of the Peninsula, does not follow the traditional "research" format for bibliographies because my intent is not to assist researchers, but to assist those who have experienced pregnancy loss. Therefore, I have placed the format of the entries in the order that the average person probably would find most important (or most memorable):

TITLE, AUTHOR, DATE OF PUBLICATION, MEDIUM, ISBN NUMBER, TOPIC CATEGORY, LIBRARY CALL NUMBER AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION.

Since these entries are gleaned from numerous sources, the information will not be 100 percent complete for each entry. Every effort was made to avoid errors. However, if you discover any oversights, or if you are familiar with any of these materials and can fill in missing information, please let me know. I would be pleased to update any subsequent reprints.

Thank you,
Catherine D. Hoff,
Editor
