What I find both interesting and depressing in this discussion is that
(a) judging from the books discussed, almost all the people who collect
and spend much money on costume books are in the SCA and (b) a lot of
people would rather spend money on fabric and sewing machines.

As I said, I really doubt the SCA is solely responsible or even
ter. Buying an embroidery machine and software to go with it, and
learning the software, is the kind of thing that I really enjoy.
I don't think everyone has to conform to my personal standards of
costume authenticity, and I have absolutely zero obligation to conform
