Sweden

Very early book on archeological finds and a good source. No color plates probably due to early publishing, would have been nice to see a color plate of textiles.

Re-enactors take note!

I was thrilled to find so much primary documentation in such an easy to understand format! In this book I found not the one or two useful pieces of firsthand evidence that most books include, but page after page of photographs of actual objects from the time period I am interested in. Anyone who is looking to add small details to their re-enactment gear will find this book an invaluable resource and inspiration.
