Buying for a practice, a ward, or a class?
Pediatric offices, birth centers, nursing programs, and early-intervention teams order the paperback in quantity for waiting rooms and staff training. Order 10 or more through Amazon, or get in touch about a site licence for the PDF.
Before you buy
When will the PDF be available?
Soon. It will be the same text, same 128 pages, same reference list. Until then the Kindle edition is the digital option, at the same $7.99.
Why is the digital edition cheaper than the paperback?
There is nothing to print, bind, warehouse, or ship. The $7.99 digital price is the same price Amazon sets for the Kindle edition — you are paying for the book, not the paper.
Will this tell me to stop giving my child antibiotics?
No, and please don't. The argument in this book is about preventing recurrent infections so that fewer courses are needed at all. If your child has been prescribed an antibiotic, finish it, and take your questions to your pediatrician.
