Found original edition, if one can afford it/Re: HNW - h-needlework V1 #442

Hullo

Just joined the list yesterday. Followed the thread on this book and thought 
why not for grins check with Barnes and Noble's out of print section.

Found two copies of the original edition. One is $585 and the other is $520. 
Both seem to be in decent shape. If anyone can afford this, here's your 
source. Good luck.:-)

Also tried to find info on "The Annotated Arnold" from both B&N and 
Amazon.com. Unfortunately, no luck. Anybody try Powells Books in Portland, 
OR? They have a huge network. Couldn't hurt.

On another note, both B&N and Amazon.com carry the reprinted Dover editions 
of Herbert Norris' Costume and Fashion. Ancient Europe (Vol 1) should become 
available in October; thus rounding out the set (although I have heard 
rumors of other books in the series and remember seeing something while I 
was browsing in Pegasus and the MELVYL system(which is a search engine for 
college libraries). I think it was in a Southern California university 
library, San Diego maybe? Does anyone know anything about these extra 
volumes?).
