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

[Eric W. Brown]

Just to refresh my memory, 

 

We want period games crafted by BrynGwladi so that they can be gifts for
an event, yes?

 

Gulf wars?  I can't seem to recall the event.

 

Thanks,

 

Cal-

Actually, I can ~lol~. Okay, I just looked it up because the book is at
home. 

 

Medieval Games
...by Salamallah the Corpulent

 

This is the only place I found that has it available online. It is at
the bottom of the page.

Damiana also has a copy of the book.

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.

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,
