Just a suggestion.... You might want to do a search on the forums, there are many, many threads with those answers. Secondly, you might want to be looking our for a book by Barb Tewksbury.. "The art of kiltmaking"
http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/books.htm
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Dummies?
No. Any book about tartans would have to be in Scots.
Tartans fer Eejits.

I recommend these two sites:
www.tartansauthority.com
www.albanach.org (Matt Newsome's personal site)
Start off wi' them, and you'll be fine.
Cheers,
