Julie I have the first book, and it is indeed wonderful. I also have the second as a set of photocopies that I've thumbed through a few times. It is an interesting read of an inventory nature, as it is indeed a list of items lost from her back. But at the price most places have it for, no, I would not suggest trying to buy a copy, unless you really, really are into the research aspect of Elizabethan items. If you can find it through ILL, I suggest getting it that way and taking a look at it.

Thank you Sunny for the great book suggestions. That last one I hadn't heard of, so it went directly into my wish list.I have the Leisch book, but I need to get it out and actually read the book, so thanks for the reminder. The high priced out of print Italian books are on my ILL someday when I get serious list. I actually had a copy of the Herald book in my hand at an SCA event, for only a few hundred dollars... and put it down. Another person snatched it up before I came back to buy it. I guess it wasn't meant for me to own, as I really can't afford a few hundred for a book, but it was interesting to read parts of it. And it was so tiny a book, too. I seriously don't understand how folks price used books so high like this, but if folks are willing to pay...

Re: [h-cost] What book do you want to see in your Christmas stocking?
Kimiko The Herald book didn't cost that much when it was first published, but the once it went out of print, OH MY! It really is a wonderful book and is probably worth every penny it commands on the aftermarket. I know that I read it through completely every couple of years or so. I just wish someone would reprint the entire series. Ginni Morgan Kimiko Small sstormwa...@yahoo.com 12/13/10 2:22 PM Thank you Sunny for the great book suggestions.

Re: [h-cost] What book do you want to see in your Christmas stocking?
From: Onaree Berard msber...@gmail.com So, what book do you want? Onaree I think something is wrong with me. The only book on my current wish list, that is in print or available at the bookstores, would be Rich Apparel by Maria Hayward. Thing is, I'm rather burnt out on Henrician stuff at the moment, want to wander into other time periods, and am not sure what books from those time periods would be a good choice, that I don't have already, and not too expensive to buy. I also want to get into more embroidery, and have the books I want for that. So really, not much on my book wish list this time around. The time frames I am looking at are 1450-1500 Italy, and various aspects of the Victorian/Civil War era, in case folks have book suggestions for those. Happy Holidays to everyone!

By a stroke of good luck, I'm going to see the book I wanted to see in my Christmas stocking this year. It's The Plictho of Gioanventura Rosetti. Translated and edited by Sidney M. Edelstein and Hector C. Borghetty. Cambridge, Mass.: M.I.T. Press, 1969. (Deluxe Edition) http://www.jstor.org/pss/3102701 Out of print and a touch on the expensive side (for me) the odd time of two I've seen a used copy for sale. Stumbled across a private sale through Amazon.com for only $80US, which my kids have bought for me for Christmas. I almost didn't get it - the seller wouldn't post it internationally. Thanks to a friend of mine in the US who agreed to receive it from the seller and ship it on to me it will be here in a few days. I can't open it until Christmas though - the kids would kill me. :-) Bella http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
