and vii are unfortunately the only books from your series I don't have here.

However, while looking around I noticed that the sample cards shown in Lois Dubin's original "History of Beads", the famous "gold,ivory, palm oil,slaves" cards, are from the Moses Lewin Levin 1865 series.

So easy to read the information, so difficult to assimilate it! "History of Beads" must have been the first book I read about beads but it still hadn't registered with me that the sample cards were so early.

I was so taken with the image that compares "sulaimani" beads with glass imitations that I started looking for them, eventually finding them in Pakistan on a carpet buying trip.

The millefiori bead is not on any of these four cards. Are there other cards or just individual beads in this series?
