I have both of these books and have found them very helpful.  I can't 
remember where I got them, but you can probably get them from Devra at 
Poison Pen Press.  If she doesn't have them, try using 
www.addall.com...they search a whole bunch of book stores and usually 
can find what you're looking for.
