Based on the number of videos of the event that I've seen for
pre-order < ok, I admit I did buy one> I think only people *in house*

I would love to get "The Medieval Account Books of the Mercers of
London", but for some reason every time I think about it my credit
card mumbles something about upping the meds before trying to hide
under the couch.
What is up with that ;->
So, what book do you want?

I don't think that this is a postmortem photo.
I did read (I think it was a book or article) that very early in
photography there were photos of dead people done (or people who the
family might never see again in life -- Civil War soldiers being a
great example) but they were always lying down, no
Anyone know of any little known or hidden gems in London?
I'm going in late Oct and I know all the big stuff but was wondering
about the lesser known stuff.
Usually I ask about museums and old buildings but in London that is
like asking someone in Los Angles if they know any highways.

It is Irish Crochet. I recognize the motifs (and if I had some time I
could probably find the patterns for them).

From what I've read (can't remember the sources, it was some time ago)

Thank you.
I was unware of this info. I read the book because someone else read
it and said that it was good.
I just took the *facts* like I did the *classified* documents in

Thanks

Not irish crochet, looks like some form crochet or possibly bobbin

I'm favouring crochet as it looks like round motifs joined together
Not enough detail to know for sure.
Did you scan this?
If so could you scan a very small section at a high res (like 200-250)
so that we could see the path the the thread(s) take.
I could tell if I know how the threads are moving.
