This year, I got no costume-related presents whatsoever. But I bought myself Margareta Gleba's "Textile Production in Pre-Roman Italy" (DBBC had, and may still have, it on sale cheap! Check it out!) so I'm content.
I *did* get three books on food history! Spirit of the Harvest, which is a book of reconstructed North American Indian recipes, "The Pharoah's Kitchen," about food in ancient Egypt and Nubia, and "Meals and Recipes from Ancient Greece." Quality and accuracy to be assessed as I read them.
I did not know about "The Queen's Servants" though I enjoyed "The King's Servants" and will probably add it to my list of books to get--thanks Kimiko!
