I'd be interested in hearing what other folks think of this title.

Published in 2008... has anyone looked at this set yet? I've only
got the first volume (of three) so far. I thought the essay on
'Byzantine Clothing' was pretty good, and had the expected
references. The essay on 'Medieval Clothing' is quite extensive--
more than I want to read in one sitting--but most of the sources in
its Further Reading section are older (with the exception of
"Medieval Fabrications: Dress, Textiles, Clothwork, and Other
Cultural Imaginings," 2004), the Web Resources listing is mediocre,
and the publisher had the unhappy idea of adding a list of films with
medieval themes <gag, cough> without any annotations.
