Looks like a worthy project. Think we should add our input to this one?

: Subject: [Mid] Calling all book lovers!
:
:
: Greetings unto all who receive this missive,
: First of all, I would like to apologize for the length of this
request
: for assistance.
:
: Lady Saradwen recently posted a list of "must-have" books for
: scribes/illuminators. Her post, along with several others recently,
: ties in closely to a project which I have been working on. I am
: endeavoring to create a virtual SCA library card catalog. What do I
: mean? I would like to create lists of the "Top 5" reference books
for
: a variety of arts, sciences and broad historical topics. My goal
will
: be to have this list posted on the internet so that anyone wishing to
: research a topic could get a starter's list of good references, along
: with the ISBN and OCLC reference numbers. While this could not be
the
: "difinitive" list of books, the goal is for it to be a starting point
: to find good information sources from an SCA perspective. I am
asking
: your assistance in creating these lists of books.
:
: For starters, I would like to begin with the following ten topics
: listed below. Once I get the system and details laid out, I will
post
: additional topics to add to the list. For starters, I would like to
: begin with: Calligraphy, Illumination, Embroidery (free form),
: Embroidery (counted thread), Brewing & Vintning (Beer, Ale, Lager),
: Brewing & Vintning (Wine & Mead), Brewing & Vintning (Specialty
: Beverages), Basic Heraldry, Name Making Basics, and Vikings.
:
: SO, if you had to pare down your research library (or if you could
: buy the best books) for your area(s) of expertise, what would those
: (maximum of five) books be for the above topics? Note, Compleat
: Anachronist booklets could also be appropriate for some topics and
: some books may end up on more than one list.

: Please post your lists to me privately at
: warcc04.herum01 at ssw.alcoa.com so that we do not inundate the
: Middlebridge. Thank you so much for your assistance! I will post
the
: address once I establish a site and get the list going.
:
: I remain yours in the love of good books!
