Gloria HallI have been enjoying Caleb Bach's articles in Americas. Keep up the good work. I have a question about a citation on his article "Pride in the Warp and Weft" (Americas, December 2003). I am assuming that Traveling Bolivia Through the Wonders of Weaving, by Kathy Barth and Tereza Oroza, is a book, but have been unable to locate it. If it is a book, could you please give me the name of the publisher, date, and ISBN number, and any other pertinent information? Or is it a magazine article? From what magazine and date is it?
My husband and I lived in Bolivia from 1979 to 1994, where we taught at the American School in La Paz. Since our retirement, we go back twice a year to La Paz, where we own a home.
We do a school program to provide for a multicultural exchange between schools here in our area and two poor rural Bolivian schools, plus providing books and balls for the two schools through fundraising projects in the schools here. We are not affiliated with an organization, but do what we Call on our own. I have a suggestion: when mentioning sources, it would be very helpful if you could include the full citation for the source. I would appreciate any information you can provide.

Editors' reply: The handbook you mention, Traveling Bolivia Through the Wonders of Weaving, by Kathy Barth and Tereza Oroza Garron, is a soft-bound boo& published in 2001. It does not have an ISBN number; as it was a local project in Bolivia. It is no longer available in the U.S. but you might want to contact ASUR (Antropologos del Sur Andino) in Sucre, Bolivia, since they have a library and bookstore and most likely will have copies of the book. Their information is:
