Sir Wolf:

--- Quote from: Sir Edward on 2008-02-25, 03:15:02 ---Awesome! Don't worry, I won't bid against you. :) I'm tempted to get one new, though it's pretty expensive. Then again, high quality oversize books of period art can be worth it. In Service of the Duke, from Christian Tobler, was even more expensive and well worth it. I'll have to think about my options. :)

thats why i always get the used ones from amazon. there like 22 bucks

Sir Wolf:
ya know dude, u can bid against me if ya want too. i dont think my wife is very happy with me bidding on this book right now :(  this is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350027823371&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:1123

Sir Edward:
Heh, nah I already decided just to get a new one. It's enough of a nice collectible period artwork that I figured it was worth having one in good condition.

We've always been good at spending each other's money, eh? :)

Sir Wolf:
hahaha ya... ;)

Sir Edward:
My copy got here. And WOW. It's a really nicely bound oversize book, on thick archival stock (like twice as thick as the pages from In Service to the Duke). It really captures the detail of the artwork.

One thing I love in the artwork is that it shows someone taking off the hauberk, and leaning forward in that same undignified pose to use gravity to help that I do... (vindicated!!)
