The best book I found on twin pregnancies, though it's still not as complete as I might have hoped. The author is an MD who had twins herself, so she's been through it. The only thing I hoped for was more of a "what to expect" modified for a multiple pregnancy, and it wasn't quite that detailed. It was still VERY informative and helped me quite a bit. I really do highly recommend it!
