Non-Fiction

An in-depth study of the bead and how the native north and south Americans utilised beads for dress and ritual clothing from prehistoric to relatively modern times. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
