hist-brewing: Help requested with mead bibliography

Tue Jul 13 10:23:36 PDT 1999

I've recently begun putting together a biobiographic list for meadmakers
and wanted to ask list members for further suggestions.  As you can see
below, I've already included Cindy Renfrow's _A Sip Through Time_ and
numbers 5 and 60 of the Compleat Anachronist series.  Digby is there also.
What other historical resouces do I need to add to this section? 

Thanks in advance for any help!
