Finding Books and Recordings

Breton recordings are extremely difficult to find in U.S. stores, although mail order houses that specialize in Celtic musics, folk or "world" music may be able to order things (and if they get enough requests, they may even start to stock Breton recordings). However, it is quite possible to order things directly from Brittany. The following record producers publish catalogs and/or may be able to distribute by mail or even via e-mail and web site catalogs:
