any books on geisha?

I'm doing a research study report on geisha but I'm finding it hard to find books by historians. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on them. Can anybody recommend books?

Thanks

    Memoirs Of A Geisha by Arthur Golden is an amazing book, and in the back of it, he credits the sources that he used, so it might be worth having a look at it.

    Memoirs Of A Geisha by Arthur Golden is a really good book

    I loved the book. In fact, it's the second time I'm reading it since two years back. It's really well-written and I think it is pretty accurate on most accounts. I've always wanted to visit Japan. :P I actually want to see a real geisha now! :)) But, just to add, I have not seen the movie but I hear that it isn't very much like the book.
