Subject: Costume, clothing and images of life in the medieval and
renaissance worlds - books from DBBC


>
> Dear Lynn Hunter,
>
>
> I have three books to mention today, all of which could interest those who
are excited by the medieval and renaissance world and, more specifically,
the clothing and costume of those times.
>
> Firstly, we have struck a deal with Italian publisher, Polistampa, to take
copies of a book they published a couple of years ago and which sold out
very quickly. It is about to be reprinted and we will have copies in April
(my guess). 'Moda a Firenze, 1540-1580' presents a collection of illustrated
essays in both Italian and English on costume and fashion inspired by
Eleonora di Toledo's arrival at the Medici court. It's a stunning book,
brimful of illustrations. Secure your copy now, before it sells out again.
>
> Going back a millennium or so, we are also going to be handling Penny
Rogers' much-anticipated 'Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England'.
The book is due to appear in the next month or so in England and I am hoping
we will have copies in April.
>
> Links to both the above titles are given below. We are giving as much
information as we can (tables of contents, sample pages etc.) and we're also
offering good introductory prices on both books.
>
> The third book is one I have mentioned before: The Luttrell Psalter. We
are selling the British Library's amazing new facsimile edition and the
introductory price of $650.00 is good until the end of March. After that it
will be $750.00. Again, a link is provided below. It's pricey, but it's
beautiful. Prompted by a couple of customers (we do listen sometimes!), we
have decided to offer the book on a 'lay away' basis to spread the financial
burden. Write to me for details. But remember: the price goes up after March
31st.
>
> Three very special books. I hope we tickle your fancy.
