RSVP!<br>> <br>> Bonjour mes amis!<br>> <br>> I'm forwarding this from the Bhakail list, the original sender being<br>> my boss. :) I hope to see some of you there -- if you're non-local and<br>> would like crash space, let me know!<br>> <br>> -Sabine<br>> <br>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> This is to let all ye gentles know that the Philadelphia Rare Books &<br>> Manuscripts Co., daily haunt of ye Baroness Sabine and your writer,<br>> will host a special Open House for SCAdians and some selected others<br>> on Thursday, 3 November, from 4:30-8 p.m. Books and snacks will both<br>> await you here in plenty; parking is close, ample, and free; and we're<br>> easy to get to - just two turns and two lights from exit 27 of I-95,<br>> with exact directions to be sent to all those announcing intention to<br>> come.<br>> <br>> The lady Sabine has personally selected a gathering of early books all<br>> from the 15th and 16th centuries - and some later ones relating to<br>> SCA Arts & Science interests as well - which she'll be specially glad<br>> to show you and hand you to play with. If you'd like a bit of<br>> orientation as to what you might see and handle while visiting, along<br>> these lines,, here are links to some of the illustrated catalogues<br>> that strike Sabine and me as most likely to reward your viewing:<br>> <br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_Incunables.php><br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_16th_Century_Books.php><br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_Military_Naval.php><br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_Cookery_Gastronomy.php><br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_Manuscripts.php><br>> <br>> ~ but, for other possibilities, do see also:<br>> <http://www.prbm.com/_The_Catalogue_of_WEB_Catalogues.php><br>> ~ because for example, the catalogue of "Books in Italian" might be<br>> fun to browse if you are SCAdian'ly "Italian"!<br>> <br>> :)<br>> <br>> We should stress it that your kind "RSVP" will be needed for this Arts<br>> & Sciences evening; both book and snack preparations are still in the<br>> planning stage but we do need to get a decent idea of how many folk<br>> will be coming to join us here. So at your earliest convenience<br>> please let us know if you are *either* a "Yes" or a "Maybe, it depends<br>> . . . "<br>> <br>> We'll then be sure that you get updates!<br>> <br>> You should feel free to forward this message (or relevant bits of it)<br>> as you may choose, only being sure that people receiving it realize<br>> that they too will need to let us know that they're coming.<br>> <br>> We hope to hear from you, and to see you!<br>> <br>> Yours,<br>> Generica Ethnica<br>> / Cynthy Buffington<br>> PRB&M Partner<br>> *&* Sabine / Wendy Gale<br>> Senior Cataloguer<br>> <br>> PRB&M/SessaBks (The Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts Company, LLC)<br>> David Szewczyk & Cynthia Davis Buffington, Proprietors<br>> * Members ABAA & ILAB ~ Est. 1984, "SessaBks" 2001<br>> * 215.744.6734 (tel) & 215.744.6137 (fax)<br>> * Email rarebks@prbm.com<br>> * Visit us by appointment!<br>> <br>> BROWSE the "departments, aisles, and shelves" of our<br>> extensive & highly illustrated INDEPENDENT WEBSITE @<br>> WWW.PRBM.COM www.prbm.com/_Newest_Arrivals.php<br>> www.prbm.com/_The_Catalogue_of_WEB_Catalogues.php<br>> www.prbm.com/_The_Featured_Book_Gallery.php<br>> www.prbm.com/_SessaBks_-_The_True_Story.php<br>> Or SEARCH our stock via<br>> www.prbm.com/_Search.php<br>> <br>> * Early Books of Europe & the Americas<br>> Other Rarities as Chance May Supply<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Ekstationers mailing list<br>> Ekstationers@lists.gallowglass.org<br>> http://lists.gallowglass.org/mailman/listinfo/ekstationers<br></div> </div></body>
