[Bryn-gwlad] Ancient Board Games - British Museum Press (fwd)

[Ysabeau]

I bought a book at Pennsic that is a comprehensive guide to period games.
I'm hoping it is in the box that I have a friend mailing to me and not in my
luggage because my luggage hasn't made it back from Pennsic yet. : (  If and
when I get the book I will be more than happy to bring it out. It is the
latest edition of the book that Pegasus has.
