[MR] two new wonderful textile and costume books

[SNSpies at aol.com]

Number One:

Gale  Owen-Crocker just e-mailed me [not me, Ingvild, but someone on another  
list' with the news that her new edition of
_Dress in Anglo-Saxon  England_ has reached the publisher's warehouse. I'm
guessing, then, it  should be shipping on schedule or earlier (the official
release date is  Nov. 30).

You can see a list of the contents, and order a copy,  here:

(http://www.boydell.co.uk/43830817.HTM)    

When it says "Revised and enlarged edition," that's an  understatement.
Those of you who already know the first edition as *the*  word in dress in
this period will be delighted by the wealth of new  information --
including much archaeological evidence -- in this book.  
[I have mine on order from Amazon with a discount, too. Ingvild]

 
Number Two:
 
Else Ostergard's "Woven into the Earth: Textiles from Norse Greenland"  
(Aarhus: Aarhus University Press, 2004)
 
Totally awesome book!  And you can get it at a discount right now (for  a 
total of around $40) from David Brown Book Company --

I will have my copy available for drooling over at Bright Hill's Textile  
Arts Guild on Sunday.

Spiritual rejoicing. An entirely  cerebral scintillation."
