Adrienne:

Don't forget to look at "Delivering Experience" in the Museum News
May/June issue of this year.  You might also want to contact the Museum
Store Association and ask them about information.  Also, I am sure the
AAM Bookstore must have something in one of their recent catalogs.

Good luck!
