I am interested in this book on paleography. Has anyone seen this book and what do you think?

I think Winterfell got a copy in England in October, send him a PM.

Yeah I have the books.
Picked it up in England. It is very interesting. There are two books actually.
The first is the photocopies of various dcouments, patents of noblility, rolls, fines, etc. The second is the documentation of the plates, including what the documents are, the original text and translations. If you can aquire both books, it makes for interesting reads.

Yeah, good. Okay, that'll be a spot of cash when I can get around to it, then. I'm building a cracker-jack research libary, looks like.

One of the house projects that my wife and I have this month is cataloging our little collection. I'll post it if anyone is interested.
