Dear Scientific Psychologists: My name is Jennifer Thomas, and I am a
member of the American Psychological Society Student Caucus (APSSC). I am
currently the chair of a project called the Bookstore Project.

The purpose of the project is to disseminate psychological science to the
lay public via popular bookstores. Many of us who participate in
experimental psychology are not satisfied with the fact that psychological
science is not represented in the psychology section of most major
bookstores. Instead, most psychology sections contain self-help and
clinical psychology. We want to spread the word that psychology is more
than an applied discipline by encouraging bookstores to create a separate
section specifically for psychological science. The first step of the
project is to compile a list of possible books that represent
psychological science to suggest to the bookstores. We will then be
collecting data about which books lay people find most interesting.
Finally, we'll present the information to bookstores and encourage them to
create a separate section for scientific psychology. We are currently
working on the first step of compiling a list of possible books. I have
received many helpful recommendations so far from various psychologists,
but I need more. I encourage everyone to recommend their favorite book or
books to be included on the list.  Please email me with your
recommendation at jcthomas2 at delta.is.tcu.edu.=20

help and support!
				Sincerely,

				Jennifer Thomas
