There are few books accessible to the public. The majority are scientific publications that can only be consulted in specialized libraries, or works that are now out of print. Three books have been published recently. One in French, in 2000, is the first essay of this type on Pytheas in France. The second, in English, was published in 2001 (a French translation is now available). Finally, in 2008, a “survey” was published.
