There is also the very excellent Museum Law by Dr. Marilyn Phelan.  And
a series of books published by Routledge (The Heritage:
Care-Preservation-Management series) which includes Museum Ethics
Edited by Gary Edson; Museum Basics, Timothy Ambrose and Crispin Paine;
Museum Exhibition: Theory and practice, David Dean, etc. And those
already mentioned by the list!  Best of luck!
