A Short Bibliography of Ainu Publications in English
We have received many requests for information on the Ainu. For your convenience, we have developed a short bibliography of recommended readings that you may find in your library. In regards to some of the later publications, I have included the ISBN number, where possible, should you want to purchase them. If you can't find some of the older books, we recommend that you try a "book finder". We have tried this and have been very successful.
