Subject: Want list of books on Haiti
Below is the "want list" of my library. It is my hope that in the
coming months I will find ways to make this library of service to
all of you on the internet, so I hope you can help me find the missing
gems I need to make this an ever better resource.

==========================================
I am building a library of books and articles on Haiti which have been
printed in English. While I am interested in nearly every book about
Haiti, the Voodoo religion, West Indian piracy and many that treat of the
Caribbean generally, the list below are works that I am especially
desirous of finding. If you have any of the following for sale (or
donation) I would like to hear from you. Also, if you have other books
you think I might be interested in, please e-mail, write or call.
Thank you.
I am also interested in journal articles on Haiti.
Lastly, I support this library by buying and selling books on Haiti. I
am interested in other books on Haiti, but would have to pay lower than
normal market value, since I would need them for resale.
I am in the process of revising my FOR SALE list and may have it
ready to post in the next couple of days.
=================================================
I've sent a list out earlier, but this is a revised list of current wants
as of 5/95. Thank you.
