BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND RELATED ITEMS
The coverage of the following bibliographies extends beyond the scope of the work at hand. Certain items that are not bibliographies in the technical sense of the word are also included.

The 106 entries in this bibliography on Northeast Thailand range from elephant hunting to the story of a Northeast Siamese girlhood.

Sequel to an earlier “exploratory” bibliography published by the Military Research and Development Center. All items are annotated.
