African masks

Hi, i friend of mine is researching the local way of expression during "apokries" (something like halloween) in Crete, which include dances and happenings wearing masks. He wants to make comparative study of other cultures that using masks for ceremonies, i guess mainly African.
My question is:
-Are there any classical books on the subject of masks?
-Are there any sites that have examples of "preferably original" masks for sale? Preferably in Europe?
Thanks!
