Can anyone give me any good reference points for researching Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

I have a handful of websites but I need books, online journals e.t.c to reference from.

Can anyone give me any good reference points for researching Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Do you have a severe case? Some narcissists are self loving for valid reasons (everyone around them is a drooling idiot) Maybe its not a bad thing. You might become a celebrity.. many celebs are in love with themselves. There's nothing wrong with a little self-love... you are probably better than 87% of your peers..

I've only had it about 5 years but i beleive it is out of print at the moment but he has written another one with a similar title. Get one or the other as they really spell things out clearly.
Reply:If you're like me, you probably know a lot of narcissistic people (some are even self-proclaimed). Just as an "aside", why don't you interview some of them just for your own personal enlightenment? This "first hand" knowledge might enhance your understanding as you read through your books and journals. Good luck to you with your research.
