This goes back to Rita Eagle's recent inquiry about color designations for trade beads.   I had referenced some color descriptions from this publication and, just out of curiosity, contacted the original publisher.   If anyone is interested, there are only two copies left.   Contact Dave Freeman at: cottonlandia@bellsouth,net

Hello,
I'm curious if the following publication is still in print?
"Early Sixteenth Century Glass Beads in the Spanish Colonial Trade" by Marvin T. Smith and Mary Elizabeth Good (1982, Cottonlandia Museum Publications, Greenwood MI, 64 pages)
I check your website but didn't see anything about publications.  I appreciate any information you can offer me.
Thank you,
Jack Eastman
