Anne,
Although there may be medical books that mention MDS in passing, I'd be very surprised if any of us found books with current information about treatment of MDS. Still, books can give us background about how bone marrow and blood cells work.
While researching treatment choices, my wife and I did manage to find some printed journal articles with descriptions of studies, but that was in a medical library at a treatment center, where there were doctors who could tell us more about current MDS treatment than the printed materials.
It's important to get information that's current. Treatment reports and studies from only a few years ago may not reflect the state of the art. That's why we ended up seeking information online, from the AA&MDSIF, and from doctors at the four hospitals we went to for consultation or treatment. Trips to the library didn't gain us much.
