This message is being posted here for interested parties at the request of the Shumways - the volume
in question is to be reprinted, and is being offered at a discount to early purchasers. If you are at all interested in late 18th/early 19th century Eastern American clothing, this is a fantastic resource.

Please encourage the Shumways to continue to listen to their publishing audience by passing this around!

Thank you!

Dear Maura,
We are pleased to announce that RURAL PENNSYLVANIA CLOTHING by Ellen Gehret is being reprinted and should be available by the 28th of November, 2005.
The book will be softbound but sewn- not glued, which makes it a very durable book.

We want to thank you and the members of your 18th century email list who initiated a request to reprint this book. In appreciation we are offering the book at a special price to you, your reenator list, and others during the month of November. The book will be available for $35 and free shipping on orders placed during November 2005. On the 1st of December, the price will be $40 plus $6 shipping.

I will be putting the information on our website www.shumwaypublisher.com this weekend. People can also call us toll free 1-888-748-6929 to order. We accept visa, mastercard, and American Express, also checks and money orders.

Thank you again, and since you were the first to write us, I will ask you to pass on the infomation to others rather than my emailing them individually.

I'm setting about working on my handouts for my classes at KWCS today. I have just discovered that all of my notebooks have gone poof.

Every single graphpaper tablet has also gone poof. I use these for my preliminary technical sketches, and rough layouts of my handouts.

The notes I can recreate, many of them are already scanned, the existing rough sketches ditto, but I NEED the hardcopy step of roughing out on paper for my thoughtprocesses to work. I can't find shit.

Stuff that I know was there not more than a couple of weeks ago has vanished. I've torn the house apart, I've looked through every room, even searched the car and I'm stumped. I've so far found two stray sheets of graph paper and diddlysquat else.

F*ck. I'll have to go buy another planning tablet, and of course then everything will show up, I'm sure.

Double F*CK.
