When my trip to Africa in 2009 was confirmed, I decided to buy a book and read about the area I would be traveling to.\u00a0 When I returned, my quest for additional knowledge increased.\u00a0 I borrowed several books from the local library but also added to my collection.\u00a0 A few of these books have been especially helpful for photo identification when scrapbooking.\u00a0 Below is a list of reference books, coffee table books and video that I’ve found extremely helpful or just plain enjoyable.<\/p>\n
