Tobias Capwell’s publisher is now taking preorders for his new book “Armour of the English Knight 1400-50”.  The preorder cost is only 40 British Pounds (about $60) plus postage!

My day just got a whole lot brighter!  :) :) :)

Well, it does specifically say that after the pre-order the price will go up 5 GBP, so I don't think Toby's out to gouge anyone.  It just sounds like the pre-order numbers will help determine the number of books that ultimately get printed in the first batch.
