If you're talking about the shirts book, I kind of do. It's still
hung up in legal issues - estate, copyright, permissions... the
typical yadda yadda for publishing a book of this nature. It
happens that my research crosses over hers, a couple of the shirts
in the Met collection are included in this book. But because hers
is far more diverse, the chances of my publishing first are
greater than her estate beating me to it. I am to understand her
estate has enough material to publish 4 more books. It's just a
matter of sifting through it all and assembling it appropriately. Kathy
hi, Does any of you know any news about the last Arnold Book wich
was supposed to be published? I am awaiting it impatiently Bjarne
The last I heard, the completion of the book(s) had been handed
over from the original literary executors to another person. This,
of course, will have caused a delay, not counting the time lost
immediately after her death. She told me, only a few weeks before
she died, that she had completed the fourth draft of the first
book. Unfortunately it never occurred to me to ask which she meant
by the "first" book. I know she was planning the
shirts/ruffs/supportasses book as one unit, and the "other" one, I
understood, was to have included more men's costumes.

I had heard something about one of them being the "missing" book for
the period between 1620 and 1660. Do any of you know anything about that?
That was what Janet was talking about - she said she had some men's
suits to add - I think from the Isham collection, which are
transitional. There is a beautiful coat which is very fragile, I seem
to remember. I don't remember if she had any earlier women's clothes
- maybe I was making a man's costume at the time - I am sorry not to
have a clearer memory. I had expected the books to come out sooner
after her death, and didn't think I needed to remember that precisely
at the time.
