[MR] Discounted Books for Scadians

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble Friends,

My latest new arrivals discount book catalog from E.R. Hamilton offered several titles that might be of interest to Scadians. Here follows the catalog descriptions:

568918X THE MEDEVAL HORSE AND ITS EQUIPMENT C.1150-C.1450. Ed by John Clark, et al. Horses played a vital role in the Middle Ages at all levels of society. The wealth of medieval finds excavated in London includes many objects associated with horses, and this catalogue illustrates and discusses over 400 such objects. 185 pages. Boydell. $9.95.

5688906 DRESS IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND. REVISED EDITION. By Gale R. Owen-Crocker. This encyclopedic study of English Anglo-Saxon dress examines the subject all the way through from the 5th and 6th centuries up to the 11th century, drawing evidence from archaeology, text, and art. It is based on the author's original study from two decades ago, and has been fully revised. Illus., some in color. 400 pages. Boydell. $19.95.

5682703 ENGLAND'S ABBEYS: MONASTIC BUILDINGS AND CULTURE. By Philip Wikinson. Explores the development of monasticism, tracing its origins in the Middle East and its history in England from the first Christian missionaries in the Saxon period until the dissolution, and highlights the characteristics, lives, and values of the main monastic orders. Well illus. in color. 216 pages. English Heritage. 7 1/4 x 9 3/4. Import. Pub. at $40.00. $6.95.

These books can be ordered by item number or title ( http://www.hamiltonbook.com/ ). For online credit card orders ERH charges $3.50 shipping & handling per order, plus .40 per book. For orders from their paper catalogue paid by check, shipping & handling is a flat $3.50 per order. You can request to go on the catalog mailing list through their web site. Be warned: they send out an average of 5-6 catalogs per month.

I have no financial interest in ERH, but I am a satisfied long-time customer. I have built a substantial library of interesting books on the middle ages through them, all new, and often very recent releases.

Yours Aye,
