What I find both interesting and depressing in this discussion is that (a) judging from the books discussed, almost all the people who collect and spend much money on costume books are in the SCA and (b) a lot of people would rather spend money on fabric and sewing machines.
Fran Not always a matter of " would rather"--but if money is limited, I might buy a book this month, some fabric next month...I have to be judicious with my purchases. And we don't use credit cards, everything is cash only. Most of the time, if I regretfully sigh and put back the book I'd love to have, it's because the household bills have to come before pleasure.
