These are books that I would urge you to put on your Christmas list for
Lady Saradwen Ariandalen
of several "must-own" books if you are a scribal type. These books have
served me well as research tools and I feel obliged, as a scribe,
apprentice to a laurel in callig/illum and a Companion of the Willow, to
share this information with you:

ISBN 0-486-20327-1 $8.95
ISBN 0-486-23784-2 $9.95

Braziller Books 1988 ISBN 0-8076-1189-1 (not sure of cost)
