You'll all remember the e-mails that flew around our mailing lists a
few months ago about the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard <http://
www.staffordshirehoard.org.uk/>. The British museum has now issued a
48-page book about the find that you can buy for £4.99 <http://
www.britishmuseumshoponline.org/invt/cmc23288>. One pound of that
will go into a fund designed to allow Staffordshire museums to
purchase and display the hoard. As far as I can tell, shipping is
free, even outside the U.K.
A member of a mailing list to which I subscribe has a copy, and
described it as being very well done--a slim volume but one with
quality photos and line drawings and excellent text. I thought it
might be of interest to a lot of folks, especially the Anglo-Saxons
and metalworkers among us.
