Tamarina:
There are so many it is hard to select one. If you can get to our WWW site
at http://www.9to5.com/9to5/NBC/ you will find a complete catalogue of
Native Indian books --- 1100 titles for your inspection. If you do not
have access to the Web we can send you a copy of the catalogue in print.
Just send us your mailing address and it will be sent on Monday.
