Oh, for a bigger book budget! I saw this and just had to pass the
information on to an appreciative audience.

Subject: new books on textiles and clothing from DBBC
Dear Joan Jurancich,
I would like to draw your attention to several books relating to
medieval and archaeological textiles and clothing: some new and
others on their way to us at great prices.
Firstly, long-awaited, but welcomed nonetheless, we have just
received "Ancient Textiles: Production, Craft and Society", a
collection of papers dealing with textiles from the ancient world,
with plenty of medieval papers and a few stretching into the
eighteenth century. A full list of papers can be viewed by clicking
the link for this book below.
Accompanying this book is a useful short guide: "First Aid for the
Excavation of Archaeological Textiles". Also available from us right now.
Just published by our friends at Brepols is "Weaving, Veiling and
Dressing: Textiles and their Metaphors in the Late Medieval Ages",
which presents a collection of essays on textiles and the medieval Church.
On their way to us from England are two Boydell books which we have
managed to acquire at extremely good prices: Gale Owen-Crocker's
"Dress in Anglo-Saxon England" which was released in a new edition
in 2004 and the Museum of London's "Medieval Horse and its
Equipment". Secure your copies now!
And finally, a brief reminder (because I am told that the books are
about to be shipped to us) about the late Olaf Goubitz's "Purses in
Pieces" and "Stepping through Time", both of which will be available
exclusively from us.
We will look forward to hearing from you.
With regards,
Ian Stevens
The David Brown Book Co.
