Sometimes, the best friend is the last to know...
But, I ordered 2...
I, and many of my friends, have used the Compendium for years to check my
impressions and look for snippets (oh, wait, I have to look up where that
word comes from) :)
Cheers,
Regina in L.A.

June 26, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA) Did you know that the first shopping
mall was opened in London in 1571? That in 16th century England, gifts
were given on New Year's Day but not on Christmas? That beer could be
flavored with anything from pepper to lupins? All this and more can be
found in Maggie Secara's A COMPENDIUM OF COMMON KNOWLEDGE 1558-1603
(210 pps, trade paperback, $19.95)
The Compendium website at www.elizabethan.org has long been the go-to
website for authors, students, actors, re-enactors, and Elizabethan
enthusiasts of all kinds. Now in paperback from Popinjay Press, anyone
can have the Compendium on hand wherever they go!
