[Elfsea] New Books!

[Miss M Brow]

The book is titled "The Silk Industry in Renaissance Venice" by Luca Mola.  
Right now, I have read the frst 4 chapters, and it gives a decent overview 
of the way the guilds were (IMHO) and this gives a clue as to their 
importance in their society.  If you'd like to see the book, I can bring it 
out with me to a practice or event, but like I said earlier, I am having 
trouble finding my way around for some reason and have been getting lost, so 
I need extra help finding places.  I'm not working yet, so time is not an 
issue.  So far, what I have been able to find is Their Excellencies' house 
in Crowley, Aislyn's house (in Arlington?) and Aelfwyn's (sp) house in Fort 
Worth and quite close to me.   Hmmm... maybe I just need to name everything 
I go to beginning with an A...    Mairi Besswick, called Rua
