One of my favorites is "The History of Beads" by Lois Sherr Dubin. The author goes into so much detail about the history of beads. The breadth of knowledge is incredible.

How do you feel when you go to a local place and find out that the beads are actually made in China? I was just reading this article and it really does make sense.

When I come across Chinese made beads in a foreign country, I’m usually still inclined to buying them. I think sometimes it’s the story behind where you found them and the memory behind the beads is more important than the exact country of origin of the bead.
