Ok, so I am in the middle of Casting Fortune by John M Ford, a good read if you can get hold of a copy. Collection of 2 short stories and and 1 novella set in Liavek. Well worth reading. Upon realising it was a shared world setup, I was interested to see who else wrote in it. Found out based on the link above. Droool... Emma Bull, Gene Wolfe, Jane Yolen, John M. Ford, Kara Dalkey, Megan Lindholm, Nancy Kress, Patricia C. Wrede, Steven Brust, Pamela Dean, Charles de Lint...
I think I want to get hold of the anthologies. Time to start hunting.

Cool link on Archaeological Conservation and its Consequences from the National Museum of Denmark. The textile section has some cool stuff, thoguh the effects of some late 19th century preservation/restoration techniques will make you cry...

Brain has snottified... Perfect for minor abundance tweaking and matching... Just as well there are talks for part of this afternoon.
