Neolithic and Bronze AgeCountry: France Ruth will be ordering some books on import from a small French publisher called Editions Jean-Paul Gisserot. If you're thinking of a visit to Carnac/Brittany or are just interested, these are the best books our friend JJ found there in English.They are quite hard to track down in bookshops in the region too he says. All the ones I've seen are full colour photo, thick glossy paper, size 1/2 way between A4 and A5 and 34 to 64 pages in size.
Carnac, Land of Megaliths by Jacques Briard
Director of Research at the C.N.R.S
English Edition, 2000, 34 pages, colour
Editions Jean-Paul Gisserot
£4.99
The Megaliths of Brittany by Jacques Briard
Director of Research at the C.N.R.S
English Edition, 1997, 64 pages, colour
Editions Jean-Paul Gisserot
£6.99
These two are in French but have lots of excellent photos and line drawings:
Gavrinis - lots of photos and 'tracings' of rock art from this tomb. Ideal for artists £4.99
Locmariaquer - including an amazing aerial photo of the inaccessible half-submerged stone circle on the island £4.99
They also have lots of other books on the subject in French, an unusual way to improve your understanding perhaps? All but one are £4.99. I won't be ordering any of these except by request so if you'd like any please say now and I'll be happy to add them to the order.
Dolmen et Menhirs (the French version of Megaliths of Britanny) £6.99
Mégalithes, ésotérisme et réalité, Jacques Briard

Reservations before the end of this weekend, or any time for the top 4 as they will be going into the online shop.
