NEW BOOK ON WAMPUM AVAILABLE

The following item is taken from the Canadian Numismatic
Association E-Bulletin, Vol. 1 No. 4 (February 20, 2005):

"Frank Fesco advises that a new book about wampum, in
French with a high percentage English from quoted sources,
has just been published by Jonathan C. Lainey. It is titled:
"La Monnaie des Sauvages" and resulted from his Master's
thesis in History at Laval University in 2003. Although Lainey
is not a numismatist, he is a Huron-Wendat, and enthusiastic
about his fascinating subject. He is currently weaving a
modern wampum belt. The book is available for $30 at
Chapters. In his e-mail, Frank highly recommends the book.

In searching the Indigo/Chapters Website, we were unable
to locate it, possibly because it is rather new."

[My web search turned up the following link to the
Septentrion publishing house of Quebec, offering the book
for sale. The page is in French, but information on the
publisher is available in English.
