 Tomorrow, I'm going to put in a request for Thor  
Ewing's Viking Clothing book.  Anybody got any comments on it?

Yes, I do.  It's an interesting read.  Wisely, Mr. Ewing doesn't purport to 
have the gospel truth about what the Vikings wore:  instead, he reports the 
finds and current theories that he is aware of.  He also is very forthcoming 
with his clothing theories based on that evidence.  I don't agree with 
everything he says, but a lot of it is plausible and all of it is 
thought-provoking.  The only thing I regret about the book is that it doesn't 
have more illustrations in it.
