Well, soon we'll be able to check it out in the long-awaited publication
of the Oseberg textiles!!! Yes, it seems they've finally got the volume 
off to the printers!!! According to Norwegian newspaper Aftonposten it 
will be published in May! Here's the article (in Norwegian):

Personally, I won't believe it until I hold the book in my hands - but 
it sounds like they mean business this time; the article is full of 
enticing bits of information and superlatives and they've interviewed 
both Arne Emil Christensen and Margareta Nockert.

Cheers,
Jane
