I would like to draw your attention to several books relating to
medieval and archaeological textiles and clothing: some new and others
on their way to us at great prices.

Firstly, long-awaited, but welcomed nonetheless, we have just received
"Ancient Textiles: Production, Craft and Society", a collection of
papers dealing with textiles from the ancient world, with plenty of
medieval papers and a few stretching into the eighteenth century. A
full list of papers can be viewed by clicking the link for this book
below.

Accompanying this book is a useful short guide: "First Aid for the
Excavation of Archaeological Textiles". Also available from us right
now.

Just published by our friends at Brepols is "Weaving, Veiling and
Dressing: Textiles and their Metaphors in the Late Medieval Ages",
which presents a collection of essays on textiles and the medieval
Church.

On their way to us from England are two Boydell books which we have
managed to acquire at extremely good prices: Gale Owen-Crocker's
"Dress in Anglo-Saxon England" which was released in a new edition in
2004 and the Museum of London's "Medieval Horse and its Equipment".
Secure your copies now!

And finally, a brief reminder (because I am told that the books are
about to be shipped to us) about the late Olaf Goubitz's "Purses in
Pieces" and "Stepping through Time", both of which will be available
exclusively from us.

We will look forward to hearing from you.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Priorities:

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.

Denial of evidence is not refutation of evidence.

Blessed be the self-righteous, for they shall inherit themselves.
