Finding Irwin Hersey's essay on kuba cloths, piqued my interest and I found out that he literally wrote the book on kuba cloths.
The first 20 or so pages is a comprehensive survey of the history of kuba cloths, and the various tribes in and around the Congo that produce them. The balance of the book, about 160 pages catalogs a great collection of kubas. If you like your eye candy in a digital format, just do a Google image search or a Yahoo image search for kuba cloth. Overall a great coffee table and reference book.
