UPDATED June 24, 2005

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.
