Welcome to the Charlesbank Health Sciences Bookshop, one of the largest health sciences bookstores in the Northeast. (And, to the best of our knowledge, the first such store to show a presence on the Internet.)

We have had several customers ask if it is possible to browse our database online. Well, no. (Sorry. The computer on which we have our database is not on the Internet. Everything in this site is put together manually.) However, our main medical book distributor, Login Brothers, has made their database searchable via their Web site. Their database doesn't cover everything that we carry, but it's a good starting point.

So be sure to check out Login Brothers' Web site.

Local Documents

• Some basic information about our store.

• The Charlesbank Health Sciences FAQ (frequently asked questions).

• Look in our display window to get a taste of what we stock.

• A bibliography of books by Boston University Medical Center authors.

• A collection of quotations gathered in the bookstore over the past few years.

Information from elsewhere on the Internet

• Information from Login Brothers medical book distributors. Their full database is searchable by keyword, making it easy to find what you're looking for.

• Publishers' book information. (Includes also bibliographies and reviews.)

• Images from the History of Medicine from the National Library of Medicine.

• Miscellaneous other links, including electonic texts and scientific humor.

Special thanks to Evan Mair, BUSM '97, for making our online presence possible.
