I would be interested in reading this book.
Picked this up years ago at the Smithsonian, so the "review" will have lots of
dust on the memory...

I've fretted about this before with unsatisfactory results. My latest

is the LOC archive of dance manuals www.loc.gov. Several of them

wear. I'm interes

If you are mostly interrested in the medieval period, you should go to the
Nationalmuseet where they have the Greenland find clothes on wiev.
Also a trip to the Bymuseet, the (city museum) has a lot of things from
