How about: HANDBOOK OF NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS, William C. Sturtevant, General Editor 20 Volumes [!!] Volumes 9 ($23, 1979) and 10 ($25, 1983) are reviewed in the July '84 issue of Scientific American, p. 36 ff. This is a Smithsonian/ US Gov't Printing Office series. This set is a new edition of the previous 2-volume Smithsonian reference on Indians. Five volumes have appeared so far. The two volumes reveiwed are devoted to Southwest region cultures. They consist of many collected essays, studies, and treatments by many diverse authors. The review mentions that the two volumes discussed have "a readability that will repay many general readers." The next volume, due in the fall, will be devoted to the peoples of the Far North. Hope this is of interest. Will
