Would you say that De Felice is in the same boat?

An obscure publisher known as the SCA Inc. stock clerk.

Click on "Free Trumptet Press West" [sic] and go to page 4.

While you're there, pick up a copy of "Faith in Life and Limb"
(St. Alban's pamphlet, free but probably only with an order) And every
local heraldic officer needs the "Pictorial Dictionary" on page 1.

Since it's also on page 1, I should address "Period Dictionary of
Russian Names".  You don't get many Russian submissions, though, and
it's $23, so unless you've got plenty of money, no.  I assume it's
Paul Goldschmidt's _Dictionary of Russian Names_.
<http://www.sca.org/heraldry/paul/> is the on-line version: it appears
to be the second edition; I've heard the third edition is available
only in hardcopy and must be purchased, but quite a bit improved from
the second ed.  My guess is that the stock clerk is selling the 3rd
ed.
