This would seem to be a place to start:
100 1 Adams, Jane Ford
245 10 All about buttons, 1761-1980 :|ba descriptive and
annotated bibliography of publications containing
information about the making, wearing, and collecting of
buttons /|ccompiled by Jane Ford Adams
260 San Diego, CA (4131 Marlborough Ave., San Diego 92105) :
|bJ.F. Adams,|cc1981
300 53 p. ;|c23 cm
500 Limited to 300 copies
I haven't seen it, and it may be geared more toward button collectors, but still appears to be a useful place to begin any bibliography.
