Will think about what I can contribute when I get back from Tucson. Have some stuff on my blog, and perhaps the text version of my Briare book could be interesting.

Also, I have some European articles that maybe not everyone has seen.

Actually, thinking as I am typing: I made a list of books and articles for my book on Beads from Briare. I will copy-paste it below.
