argentbear and talkingfrog were each working on in the weekend, and drooling over the copy of "Purses in Pieces" - Archaeological finds of late medieval and 16th-century leather purses, pouches, bags and cases in the Netherlands
by O. Goubitz, (especially the wax tablet cases) I did some poking of some blogs of people who do very nice such pouchesmikkelf84 and maxlu179 who I have linked to before), and realized that one of them had given this link (1.33?mb pdf) which is the 1st 30 pages of said book, which Oxbow was offering as a lure/enticement. Gives you the introduction and most of the first chapter on girdle purses. Unfortunately not the wax tablet section but with nice books like that, you take what you can get.
I especially like the purse in figure 4 (pg 11), with the equivalent of the cell phone section at the front, for storing your wax tablets in.
