Re: [h-cost] book lust G
David Brown's current listing if for $90 plus shipping (usually $5.00). You need this book. Grab it before it goes out of print and availability completely. It isn't going to get any cheaper to buy ... Actually, all these great imported books are seeing price increases whenever the U.S. distributors have to order more copies because the dollar is way low compared to euros.

[h-cost] book lust G
I ran into a copy of Moda de Firenze (the Italian Renaissance costuming book) at a Ren Faire this weekend. I was all set to add it to my collection but was shocked at the price. The last time I looked it was going for about $80 U.S. Yesterday it was priced at $148. Has this book really gone up that much in a year or two? Is there another less costly vendor? BTW, on a simiilar note, how much is Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd going for now?

Re: [h-cost] book lust G
Ouch! Try Michael Shemansky Bookseller (online) for MdF. He usually includes shipping in his prices, I think. It is about $100 for the book and it was in his mostt recent catalogue. He KNOWS about us costumers. I told him of the book's popularity when he questioned me why so many people were asking about it. I plan to read it --again-- before the Janet Arnold Costume Collequium in Florence in November. QEWU is about $250 the last time I saw it advertised anywhere. Thet is a lot more scarce.

The last time I looked it was going for about $80 U.S. \Yesterday it was priced at $148. Has this book really gone up that much in a year or two? Is there another less costly vendor? IIRC, what's out there now is a 2nd printing. Publishers seem to feel quite free to jack the price up when something is much more popular than they expected (as I think this was, and this definitely happened with QEWU) and they go into another printing when they didn't originally expect to. (To be fair, this may also have to do with having to gear up the press again, which may have gotten more expensive to run in the meantime, perhaps having to re-create some of the production files if they didn't save them, the increasing price of paper and so forth. It's not *just* the temptation of more profits...) 0 Chris Laning | [EMAIL PROTECTED] + Davis, California http://paternoster-row.org - http://paternosters.blogspot.com ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

The museum is completely bemused at the way the book has been snapped up and not really ready for mass printings.
