Google with a properly formed query will find most of the information that is out there. Also try wikipedia for information on places which generally includes their history. \n\nWhat place do you wish to find information on and what sort of information do you require?

A good beginner pictoral is : \nIllustrated Dictionary of Mythology, by Philip Wilkinson. It is a very basic span of all different Mythology, with pictures to represnt, and the beliefs listed with them. It has been a good referance starter for me.\n(It is very generic, so if you are looking more specific, this will only go so far)\nTime Life also put out 3 great sets called Myth and Mankind, The Enchanted World, and Lost Civilizations. They are factual, and well put together. Not just a referance, but a good source to pick out a coffee table book as well!

Go to Barnes and Noble or Borders. I am an avid Mermaid reference collector and have found that many of the books display mainly pictures and brief histories about mermaid witchcraft and urban legends. If you want a really good book that has some information you should go to the children's section (seriously) and look at The Secret World of Mermaids by Francine Rose, it comes with four useless figurines (unless you have kids), however, it has tons of interesting information about how mermaide came about and evolved, sightings,  the jewelry they wear, and also classifies the different kinds of mermaids along with there so-called present locations and abilities. For a more serious reader you should also look for Mermaids: Sirens of the Sea by Kerry Colburn: this book has mermiad songs and touches on how art has been influenced my mermaid culture....Enjoy!
