[h-cost] Book Alert
I just got a notice that the V&A is coming out with several new medieval titles in November (hopefully). Two that should be of interest to this list are: Fashion and Armour in Renaissance Europe : Proud Looks and Brave Attire http://www.artbooks.com/wc.dll?AB~emailReview~&itemno=101502&custno=12619 and Medieval Jewellery in Europe 1100-1500 http://www.artbooks.com/wc.dll?AB~emailReview~&itemno=101500&custno=12619 Janet ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Things are described in such a way, that if you have much experience with period items you will have little trouble envisioning them. Of course, for me the written word translates into a vision in my head. I 'see' the story a book is telling. It makes it hard when my favorites are made into movies and the characters don't look a thing like I imagine them!

Janet was on the 4th draft when she died, so I would not have thought there was a lot to do, as she had done all the drawings, or so she told me.

Word on the street is that the long-awaited analysis volume, which was shelved with Janet Arnold's death (she was doing the costume analysis) is back in production. I don't know when it will be coming out. I have this information from one of the scholars who is doing one of the other sections of analysis. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] Book Alert - Inventories of Henry VIII
I get the David Brown Book Company alerts. They have The Inventories of Henry VIII edited by David Starkey for $72 I paid $170 for my copy and was happy. I had seen it at David Brown for $144 and thought it a bargain. This is simply an unbelievable sale for a huge book stuffed with information far in excess of the dry listing of what Henry and Edward owned. It also has a glossary and dictionary. My copy bristles with little yellow sticky notes marking fascinating things like the knitted hose, the hound collars, the eye glasses. A truly "Must have" book if you are into things Tudor. The URL http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/8788 takes you right to it, bypassing the deadly other sale offerings!
