"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."
                -- Scott O'Grady

Well, it's a reproduction of a medieval manuscript. So that's not that brief for something that was hand written and illustrated. :)

Nah, didn't mean to sound like I was correcting you. Just wanted to point out why it might seem like very little at first thought, but when you think about what it really is, it's actually pretty amazing. :)

I'm quite psyched about this book, actually.

I took it that way...I am used to modern printed matter; most of the books I tend to read weigh in at or over 500 pages regularly so that was where I was coming from.  I did not consider that it would have to have been hand written.  Thank you for the lesson, Bill.  :)

If we can get my potion down to 20, I might actually get around to reading it. :)

Well, Ed has a wedding to attend (he says plan, but we know the real deal) so I can see how he may not have time to read and write a book report but James, you have time- did you not complete all of your work on your armor already?  :)

Is it ever done? ;) I'm still waiting on the mail skirt I ordered May 11th. The rough estimate is that it's still about a month away from arriving. At that point, I'll have to see if my plans for the new gambeson/arming coat will work.

However, the book doesn't come out until (IIRC) November, so I should have some time to read it over the holidays, and Sir Edward's wedding attendance will have taken place, too. :)
