That's weird, our local shire mailing list just received an email 2 days ago from one of the librarians in the local Public Library System telling us that he had ordered several books produced by SCA members for the Main Library Downtown and that your book was one of them. He went out and searched for our group *after* ordering the books because he was so excited about them and was excited to find a local group in his hometown. He's been asking all kinds of questions about the SCA since.
