Preemie book recommendations?

I was just wondering if anyone had any good preemie reference type books?

You can find a good list of preemie books on the Preemie Resource blog managed by this board here: https://preemiemomblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/for-your-preemie-library.html

However, I think all preemie books should come with a disclaimer. Do not read them cover to cover, you will freak yourself out. Read them as-needed and as reference tools only. Then bring questions you have to your neos and trust them, the books are outdated the minute the are published because new research is coming out all the time. 

If you haven't checked out the rest of the blog's "life in the NICU" page, I'd point you to that too

I found the Dr. Sears book "Premature Baby Book" extremely helpful. Especially the chapter on coming home and after that.
