Has anyone here read the book "The Mercery Of London: Trade, Goods And People, 1130-1578" by Anne F. Sutton?
I reviewed it for volume 3 of Medieval Clothing and Textiles. It's a large, detailed history of the people of London who made and sold linen and silk goods and small dress accessories. If you're looking for detail on the actual costume items, you'll have to dig to find the useful nuggets of information, as the book focuses primarily on the political, economic, and legal roles of the Mercer's Guild, and spends a lot of time discussing things like the personal histories of influential members and arguments over trade territories.
If you want to read my review and don't have easy access to it, contact me directly.
