…this is what i did: i got a card at my public library…i read all they had- Egyptian and Greek stuff is really good and usually readily available…if not, most public libraries have a transfer program in which you can get just about any book or material related to your subject of interest from other libraries, and some librarian are really good and helpful at what they do…it was quite a bit of reading, but i loved it…the web allowed me to expand, but i had to be careful and open minded, as some material was different to the point of contradictory- siting references becomes crucial…
