I just saw this on the news this morning, a book by Heather Sellers called "You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know".

I don't suffer myself (I think?), but it sounds like a good read...I thought some of you here would appreciate it.

I'm faceblind but wonder how someone could write a whole book about it, unless it is detailing the mechanisms behind it rather than their experiences with it.

Well from reviews and things, it sounds like it's mostly memoirs and stuff. I had a whole ton of reviews pop up when I searched for the title.
