Bernhardt, project coordinator, and Susan Perry, creator of the database that produced the Library. Ms. Bernhardt corresponded with committee members, nominators of books, and publishers; maintained and updated relevant files; collated and edited the final bibliography; and checked the accuracy of citations. We are also grateful for the time, energy, and ideas provided by the members of the Library for Internists IX Core Committee, who took significant time to scrutinize the nominated works. Finally, we thank all who sent in nominations, for without their contributions none of this would have been possible.Corresponding Author: Customer Service, American College of Physicians, Independence Mall West, Sixth Street at Race, Philadelphia, PA 19106-1572.
