>  We have just received the long-awaited "Medieval Garments
>  Reconstructed: Norse Clothing Patterns" from its publisher,
>  Aarhus University Press, in Denmark.
>
>  The book is a companion volume to "Woven into the Earth: Textile
>  Finds in Norse Greenland", which came out in 2004, and which we
>  also sell.
>
>  This is a remarkable book. It contains a condensed introduction
>  to the original textile finds and then there are historical
>  discussions of the production of the thread, dyeing and weaving
>  techniques and the cutting and sewing of the garments. Next comes
>  the practical part of the book, presenting measurements and
>  drawings of garments, hoods and stockings with sewing
>  instructions and patterns.
>
>  The book is priced at $40, but is offered, until the end of
>  January at $30, a 25% savings. We hope you will take advantage!
>
>  'Medieval Garments Reconstructed: Norse Clothing Patterns' - by
>  Else Ostergard, Anna Norgard and Lilli Fransen, translated by
>  Shelly Nordtorp-Madson
>  List Price: US$ 40.00 * Our Price: US$ 30.00
