Dr W H Bates
Dr Bates' book could never be described as an easy read. It was compiled over about twenty years from articles and notes and it veers between the transparently lucid and the infuriatingly obscure. Absolutely required reading for anyone who wants to know what the method is about, but not necessarily the best book for beginners!
Perfect Eyesight (Health Research) £25.00
Facsimile of first edition, contains much detailed material omitted from later editions: suitable for serious students and those interested in the science. Stiff covers comb bound.
Better Eyesight Without Glasses (Thorsons) £6.00
Popular edition condensed from the above by Bates' widow, Emily Liermann. Contains most of the material of practical interest.
Reprints (Health Research) £15.00
Articles published on various subjects in the New York Medical Journal and others. Some are identical with passages in the book, others appear to be early versions: some are unique.
Aldous Huxley, The Art of Seeing £8.00
Huxley was a pupil of Margaret Corbett: his book reflects both the very practical bent of the Corbett school and his own philosophical temperament in correlating the work of Bates with that of Alexander.
Jacques Lusseyran, And there was light (Floris) £9.00
This is not a vision education textbook, but the autobiography of a man who was blinded as a child, before living through world War 2. it is listed here because it is possibly the best book ever written on seeing and the nature of perception - by a man who, for the greater part of his life, was totally blind.

Wolfgang is one of Germany's leading vision teachers, trained both in the Bates Method and in Anthroposophical colour healing.

Flower Remedies £9.00

Flower remedies are used to heal through the emotions: although this book does not deal specifically with vision it is relevant to many issues that suround vision problems.
Miniature Bible £2.50
'Reading the finest possible print is a great benefit to the sight' (W H Bates). The 'Good News bible (modernised New Testament) is offered here in approx 2pt type to help you to practise this vaulable skill. Most if not all pages are perfectly legible, in case anyone should doubt!
