@ your library
The web puts a vast amount of knowledge at your fingertips, but sometimes nothing but a book will do. Before you shell out the cash for a book, check out what resources your library has. Here are the areas of the stacks (shelves) you can browse for great books on nutrition.
Each library organizes their books using a different classification system. If you're unsure which one yours uses, ask your librarian! He/she will be happy to help!
