I have a facsimile (pre-photocopies) made by a friend at the Library of
Congress in the early 70's. There is no date on the frontispiece, but
it was published by J M Dent and Sons, Ltd, London, and the preface
by Norris is dated 1924.
What do you need?

Subject: [h-cost] Seeking early edition of Norris
Does anyone on the list have in their own collection a copy of the
original editions of Herbert Norris's "Costume & Fashion," vol. 2 (Senlac
to Bosworth, 1066-1485) -- as opposed to the Dover reprint?
I need to compare a passage in two printings: 1927 and 1931.
The Dover reprint is supposedly a republication of the 1927 edition, but
the quote I'm looking at very likely refers to another work that wasn't
published till 1928. Thus my quandary. I need to know which of them was
drawing on the other, and that means figuring out when Norris first made
his statement.
I can probably get one via ILL, but I don't think I can get both
simultaneously. If necessary, I'll start running around to the local
university libraries, but I thought I'd try here first. If it turns out
the quote is in only one volume, I can try to ILL that from here.
