If not, I'd imagine they could probably order them for ya. The one I go to is pretty good about that.

You can always try online at Amazon too. Or Barnes and Noble online.

If I had a university in the area that offered post grad nutrition books, I would buy 80% of my books there. I find university book stores to be the best place for current books. Lots of them are online.

Barnes and Noble examples would be these.

Here's a quote from Alan in regards to his opinion of the book Nutrient Timing. I thought it would be good to post it here incase people are looking for opinions on the book. I also agree with Alan's comments.

The importance of nuntrient timing really depends on just how frequent your meal are, and whether or not your hypercaloric (with a lot of carbs to throw around) or hypocaloric (with portneially a very limited allotment of carbs). the latter scenario can greatly benefit from nutrient timing. This subject can be complex, but really doesn't need to be.

Of specific note, vitamin C supplementation postW has been demonstrated to hinder recovery. This points to the possibility that the book might need some updating.

It's certainly not a bad book at all, in fact I've recommended it, but you have to keep it in the proper perspective. Slightly outdated in terms of micronutrient recommendatrions, & it doesn't necessarily apply to those who train in a "fed" state.
