I'm on the David Brown Book Company email list. This note just
arrived in my mailbox. I know that there are several (at least)
members of h-costume who are interested in at least two of these books.

Subject: Costume, clothing and images of life in the medieval and
renaissance worlds - books from DBBC
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.
With regards,
Ian Stevens
