Subject: A special offer from DBBC and the British Museum Press

Just published in the UK and on its way to us even as my grubby, stubby
fingers type this message, is a book from the British Museum that is
causing some excitement within the walls of the Oxbow/DBBC offices.

"Ancient Board Games in Perspective" presents papers from a conference
that took place at the BM in 1990. Covering the games of the Egyptians,
Greeks, Romans, Mesopotamians, Indians and Chinese and with special
sections on Chess, Backgammon and Mankala, the papers are truly
all-encompassing.

What is more, we are delighted to offer the book at a special
pre-publication price of $75 (the book is regularly $100) until the end of
September 2007.

Click the link below for a full list of papers and contributors. We should
have the book by the middle of September at the latest and will look
forward to shipping your orders as soon as it arrives.

With regards,
