Narodne Nošnje Jugoslavije / Jugoslavian National Costumes
(Download) by Vladimir Kirin
This poster book is absolutely gorgeous. The plates are works of art
in their own right! You can see the detail in the costumes as you flip
through. Costumes are from all regions of the former Yugoslavia. I'm
partial to the costumes of Crnagora!
A collection of scanned paper dolls for many of the regions of the
former Yugoslavia. The original language is Slovenian, but you don't
have to know the language to enjoy these! I want to print some out
myself, and make little fridge magnets for the kids to play with.
Aren't they just adorable?

Costumes(Download) by Miroslav V. Draškić

Introduction to the Serbo Croatian Language, Second Edition,
1962(Download) By Thomas F. Magner
A somewhat aged but still very useful introduction to Serbo-Croatian.
The author has gone well out of his way to make this a truly
Serbo-Croatian manuscript, involving ekavian and ijekavian, as well as
vocabulary terms from all over the balkans. Worth a look!
