Greetings.
Please forgive me if any of you consider this an
intrusion or SPAM.
 
A new non-fiction book about the SCA, The Knights Next
Door: Everyday
People Living Middle Ages Dreams, is now out in both
hardcover and
paperback. Details are available at
http://www.knightsnextdoor.com
 
The Knights Next Door is an overview of the modern
medieval subculture 
for
skeptical outsiders, for excited newcomers and for
veterans of the SCA, 
who
can learn about the people and activities within the
Society they have
heard about but never been able to make the long trip
to see firsthand. 
The
Knights Next Door also might make a good gift for
friends and relatives 
who
wonder just what you do every weekend.
 
The book contains descriptions of Pennsic, Gulf Wars,
a Twelfth Night, 
an
Atlantian university, Al Hafla, and Midrealm events
