Sigh...

Amazon does have copies of Margrethe Hald's Ancient Danish textiles from bogs and burials: A comparative study of costume and Iron Age textiles (Publications of the National Museum. Archaeological-historical series). However, they are second hand and go for $500 US + (most expensive copy was >$900).
Ouch... Too rich for my blood.

And while I can still remember the strange astronomer stories from morning tea last week:
A polish polarimetrist who used to observe naked...
A fist fight between between a Italian Catholic priest and a American Quaker - both astronomers. Apparently it may have been over equipment access...
Someone complained the astronomers of today are much more sedate, but the reply to that was to check email records in about 10 years time...
