I have just bought Ian Mortimer's Medieval Intrigue. It should be seriously interesting!

"St Paul's: The Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004 (Studies in British Art)" by Derek Keene. Not a cheap book, the last time I tried to buy a cheap copy the book never showed up, hope I actually get this one!

Hi every one I'm going to put up one I'm reading now that I'm almost positive is going to be impossilbe to find, and that's a shame since it is excellent.
Discovery the quest for the Great South Land. Which is in short an interesting review of who knew what about Terra Australis and when and then who may have charted it or not and the maps that may or may not show the Great Southern continent.
To an Antipodean it is a very important question and Miriam Estensen gives some interesting answers.
I'd been looking for a book like this and tripped over it at a church rummage sale.

Regards Greg

I picked up As Meat Loves Salt from the library so I can participate in the May BOTM discussion. It means I will have to jump ahead a few hundred years from the Saxon era, but that's ok!
