Fw: Top list of insect books

[Prirodoslovni muzej Split]

Dear friends,

I want to collect titles of the best entomological books in your opinion
related to collecting and preserving insects, making insect collections, 
books in general entomology, morphology, anatomy, insects and humansociety,
key books of European biggest insect groups (Mediterranean - mainly Italian and Central European fauna)
insect ecology, behavior, insect-plant relations, education in entomology and so on. 
There are so many titles, so I am affraid to be lost. 
I want to save money and time and to use your good will, experience (good and bad) and your knowledge.
Maybe this can be interesting for other people on the list, too. 

My intention is to collect new or second hand books for museum library, than to organise a group of young entomologists in this part of Croatia and to start to collect insects and to educate children in schools. 
That educative intention is a pioneer job here. I want to enliven entomological activities here. 
We have very interesting insect fauna here in Dalmatia and the lack of entomologists.
Our local insect experts died long time ago... I am still beginer, and I have to learn so much, 
but with your help I can "draw" the easier way for younger generations. 

So, if you can, please help with this data:
1. your favorite book's titles related to entomology
2. avilable book selers for that books
3. with ideas where to find cheaper second hand books 
4. ideas where to find more help even donation for this project if is possible
5. ideas about other avilable source of knowledge


That will be of great help!
Thanks to all who read this.

Boze

p.s. 
I take care for insect collections in city museum where I work and I am the "librarian", too. Our museum even lost its old ruined building (built 1914) and we are not present among other citiy museums at city site http://www.split.hr 
but we still take care for our collections hoping to get new building. We are making museum's web site now and we have chance to get new "museum building" (former billiard's hall...). 
Sources of money for my plans are very limited and the greatest thing that I have is this connection to the whole world. Among other things, I try to collect useful materials and informations for better days. 
Some of you helped me a lot recently with my insect exhibition. It was first and multimedial insect exhibition in my town (more than 1700 years old city ) and young people showed enormous interes in insects. That was "the new planet" for them and even for their teachers in biology. I didn't expect that. Thank you all specially to all donators of ideas, needed data and materials!
