My author's copy of Medieval Clothing and Textiles 4 arrived today, all the way from Suffolk, England. It was addressed to "Dr. Ellid," which still makes me laugh.
I am so very, very happy.

And the production values are *gorgeous* - the paper feels like satin, it's so smooth, and the book has good weight and heft.
*sighs with delight* To quote Willow in the last episode of Buffy:
"This is so nifty!"
