Dear Josh It's not usual to make advertising, but in this case, it could be helpful for you:
I wrote and published a book (end of December 2006) with the title "The Lute in Europe. A History to Delight". It's just a book for a person like you who like to get an overview on all the different types of lute, the ideas behind the several forms of lutes etc. Have a look on my homepage www.lutecorner.ch under "NEW..." It depends from the country where you live which way will be the cheapest one to buy it. You will find informations there. Have a nice day!
