Ahh, I see now--if I access AOL through Internet Explorer, the message does indeed say, from Stacey Dunleavy. But if I check through AOL itself, it just says from your email address, and no, I didn't know who anastasi55 that is. (Bet I won't forget in the future!) Some email addresses, of course, are more obvious than others.

I've had the website up for weeks and have been debating about going. Event I've never been to one before so not only don't know what to expect but also I'm not sure the best way to join in.

Re: [h-cost] Costume con
Michael, Just go and have fun, and enjoy what it has to offer. Don't have to be an expert at all, just a person who appreciates good costumes. I've only gone once, hope to go again in a few years when it is near the west coast, and really at my first Costume Con that's all I did. Oh, and bring some money as there are vendors.

[h-cost] Fwd: Medieval Garments Reconstructed - offer from DBBC
Okay, so I am a sucker for David Brown books and a very happy customer. If you haven't already seen this offer - here it is. This one arrived at the same time as the book. I think Ian has figured out that I don't necessarily note down when I buy a book like this and can be persuaded to order a second one because I couldn't live without the title. If you get a chance to meet him in the Book room at KZoo, you will enjoy talking to him a lot. His thing isn't books, it's the oh! shiny! that books produce. He likes the information, and he likes the people who like the information. He may never get rich, but he will make a lot of people happy. The book is European Paper size, and 140 pages. It has a lot of color pictures towards the front third with the last 2/3rds being layouts. There is a nice little literature/bibliography to make up the last Page with a list of abbreviations. Nice to have. Nice to round out a collection. Regina Romsey Dear Wanda Pease We have just received the long-awaited Medieval Garments Reconstructed: Norse Clothing Patterns from its publisher, Aarhus University Press, in Denmark. The book is a companion volume to Woven into the Earth: Textile Finds in Norse Greenland, which came out in 2004, and which we also sell. This is a remarkable book. It contains a condensed introduction to the original textile finds and then there are historical discussions of the production of the thread, dyeing and weaving techniques and the cutting and sewing of the garments. Next comes the practical part of the book, presenting measurements and drawings of garments, hoods and stockings with sewing instructions and patterns. The book is priced at $40, but is offered, until the end of January at $30, a 25% savings. We hope you will take advantage!
