[Steppes] My own version of open library...

[alkudsi at aol.com]

Not to take anything away from Master Robin and Mistress Serena's Open Library nights, but I'm trying to find out if there is any interest in an Open Library night on Textile Arts. In the course of doing a significant research project, my library on this topic has expanded tremendously. And rather than be greedy or parsimonious with them, I'm willing to make them available for research for our other textile artists.

If you are interested, please contact me off-list. If we do end up doing this as a group activity, I hope that someone has a small copier or scanner that they can bring for the benefit of all. While I trust people in the SCA to be good about books, these are currently in use for my own research, and I can't let them be borrowed at this time. But you can copy as much as you like.? Some of these are relatively rare and hard to find, or out of print.

I'm attaching a Word document that lists what is available currently, although three more are on their way.

Also, if someone would cross-post to Elfsea and Glaslyn, I would appreciate it.

P.S. And if you have books that are not on my list and want to bring them along, that would be great! Just remember to mark your books as yours...mine will have labels inside.? 

And if someone has North European Textiles until AD 1000, by Lise Bender Jorgensen and would be willing to let me see it, I will bless you!
