ATTENTION RENAISSANCE COSTUMING PEEPS

[flummoxicated]

We interrupt your LiveJournal Friends List reading to bring you this important news bulletin:

Amazon.com is selling The Clothing of the Renaissance World: Europe, Asia, Africa, The Americas; Cesare Vecellio's Habiti Antichi et Moderni by Rosenthal and Jones for $39.99!! This is that great big hardcover that was like $90 a few months ago! (LINK)

I'm wondering if that means they are at the end of the print run. Or if it's a typo. If it is a typo, too late, suckers! You have to sell it at that price. Time to scoop this one up.

Yes, the fourth one is pretty awesome. Color pics a'plenty, embroidery, chemises and ruffs, oh my!

Ack! Why now?? I'm trying to save money so I can go to New Orleans in January!

If only the original Vecellio were available at that price....


Hmmmm. I wonder how much I could sell a set of digitized photographs of it for.

Is it in color?

[tedeisenstein.livejournal.com]

Nope. The woodcuts are strictly black-and-white.

*sigh* I finally could resist no longer. My copy is on it's way...

Now stop tempting me! :)

Sorry! But just think how mad you would have been if you found out too late. I can't have that on my conscience. :)
