You know what?  That's what my mancave needs...a book shelf, a trestle table, maybe some slim side tables like Wolf has for his display there...and wouldn't you know, I can see the site, even if Sir Wolf can't.  I'm usually the one who is site-challenged.  lol

What??? A bookshelf?? Are you Merlin, the Sorcerer?? A monk?? A knight of the time only has room for more steel in their tent to compliment their armory. Who needs literacy?? Leave the books outta warfare.  ;D

Actually knights were frequently quite literate. They sometimes passed books around to each other, and so on. Having a library might have been unlikely though, of course. :)

I actually am a monk...a Templar, that is.  And most of the greatest tactics for warfare from any period were- you guessed it- written down in tomes; besides, I am no ignorant knight, I am quite well read and my library will show this. 

Seriously though, I need a place to put all my books, so why not a book case?  Especially one that looks period, even if not exactly so.

Now they're saying they might not have these back in stock until the end of September. It's questionable as to whether they'll be here in time for DoK.

A gauntlet, a digital photo frame with a couple thousand pictures of medieval armor and artwork, maybe a dragon's skull - close enough :)

Something like that...but maybe a tad bigger.  You know that's my favorite room in your house, Sir James.  lol

but as a poor monk would you/could you travel with that? i would say one tomb or bible would be the extent of your library while on the move in a tent/encampment
