>It's good to hear from you, welcome. Regarding wells books,
>take a look at Katy's wells bibliography accessed via...

>In my opinion, the best book to get is still Sacred Waters
>by Janet and Colin Bord (Hi Janet), but it is currently out
>of print unfortunately. Or if you want a rigorous
>historical study rather than the Bords' folkloric
>approach then The Living Stream by James Rattue is
>also very good (hi James). There is a Wooden Books
>publication on wells which is apparently very good (can't
>remember the exact title, but they do have a website at
>http://www.wooden-books.com). And i also enjoyed Secret
>Shrines by Paul Broadhurst. He only looks at the Cornish
>wells, but has some excellent photos.

>And of course, don't forget to trawl through the Source

>and take a long look at Living Spring Journal (issue 2
>imminent folks - honest) - url below.

>Happy reading.
