The worldcat.org website is very useful for finding access to works. Some books I purchased
from Izzy Young in Stockholm when he was selling books back in 1982. Which gave an background on the history of music and dance in Scandinavia. More recently the
most important reference is Alison Stewart's book, Before Bruegel, Sebald Beham and the Origins of Peasant Festival Imagery. This cost about 100 dollars used. Used copy of Moxey's text was available for less than 10 dollars. I came across Knackfuss's book on Holbein in a book store. I was lucky to purchase a used copy of Egil Bakka's book on line.
