With every passing year, the opportunity to visit a bookstore become a luxury to be treasured. And even more so when the books available for browsing are all on healthcare and technology topics.

At this year’s conference, attendees will have the chance to retreat from the fast pace of the exhibit hall floor and spend a few minutes reading the old-fashioned way, selecting books off the shelf.

The bookstore provides the best of the old and new worlds: you can browse through the shelves, select a title and have the book delivered home.

You will find the full list of the most popular current titles, including CPHIMS Review Guide, HIMSS Dictionary of Health Information Technology Terms, and eight new books that have just been published.
