[MR] [SCA-Card-Weaving] Oseberg textiles book now available

[SNSpies at aol.com]

That's  wonderful news! Do you know whether it *will* be offered on Oxbow or 
anywhere  like that?
 
That I do not know.  The book only arrived in the museum bookstore  this 
week.  Keep you fingers crossed that someone like Oxbow will  distribute it.  I 
wouldn't, however, hold my breath at this stage.



And might there be anybody on this list who would be willing to  translate 
some sections? Ideally consulting with the Museum to gain their  permission to 
release the translations?

 
I am planning on writing to both the authors AND the publisher as soon as I  
have the book in-hand to ask about the possibility of an English  translation. 
 That is almost unbelievable that, after waiting 112 years  since the 
textiles were first discovered, they would so severely limit the  number of people 
who will be able to easily access this information.

"But if by 'Liberal' they mean  someone who looks ahead and not behind, 
someone who welcomes new ideas without  rigid reactions, someone who cares about 
the welfare of the people -- their  health, their housing, their schools, their 
jobs, their civil rights, and their  civil liberties -- someone who believes 
we can break through the stalemate and  suspicions that grip us in our policies 
abroad, if that is what they mean by  'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a 
'Liberal'." John F. Kennedy, 14 Sept  1960
