Re: [h-cost] A Compendium of Common Knowledge
Turns out Tammy won't be there because yet again Costume College is in the middle of Pennsic, which accounts for a good part of her annual sales! But I'm hoping to find some willing dealer. I'm also inquiring about some other things at CC, so we'll see. By the way, I discovered yesterday that it's available for pre-order at barnes noble.

Re: [h-cost] A Compendium of Common Knowledge
Perhaps AlterYears? Or there is one other bookseller, that sits behind Dragon's Treasure near the second door, but I don't remember their name and I am not seeing them listed in the CC web site. They sell used books, and some new ones, too. Bob Lisa from Dragon's Treasure knows them, as they are friends. I am sadly blanking on the lady's name.

Re: [h-cost] A Compendium of Common Knowledge
Yes, I do believe that is correct. I just couldn't remember their business name at all, and her name was slipping from my swiss cheese memory, but I could remember her face. She's always so nice to talk to. Kimiko --- On Mon, 6/30/08, Pierre Sandy Pettinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Probably Margaret Mannatt, aka The Gilded Bat.

Re: [h-cost] A Compendium of Common Knowledge
Maggie, Will you have copies at Costume College, or will that be too much to handle? We have one on order, but I may want to buy extras for Christmas presents.

Maggie, Does that mean you will be at Costume College? Would you be available for signing your books in person then??? (said hopefully). Kimiko ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Oh yes! Actually I've been there the last couple of years. Last year I spent all my free time reading the last Harry Potter book so I was kind of invisible. :-) And sure, I can sign it in person, and still give you a bookplate if you want. Can't wait.
