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.

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,
