I received a reply today from Jorun Grønli Kruse (Kulturhistorisk museum,
Universitetet i Oslo). Payment must be by electronic funds transfer to
their bank's Swift account. Payment must be in Norway Kroners. When their
bank approves payment, they will send the book.
International EFT's are very expensive from my bank here. Any suggestions
as to less expensive alternate's?

That's wonderful news! Do you know whether it *will* be offered on Oxbow or
anywhere like that?
That I do not know. The book only arrived in the museum bookstore this
week. Keep you fingers crossed that someone like Oxbow will distribute
it. I
wouldn't, however, hold my breath at this stage.
And might there be anybody on this list who would be willing to translate
some sections? Ideally consulting with the Museum to gain
their permission to
release the translations?
I am planning on writing to both the authors AND the publisher as soon as I
have the book in-hand to ask about the possibility of an
English translation.
That is almost unbelievable that, after waiting 112 years since the
textiles were first discovered, they would so severely limit the number
of people
who will be able to easily access this information.
