Medieval resource books

... on sale at Amazon.com

Recently, Archet gifted the book “Life in a Medieval City” by Frances and Joseph Gies upon me. It’s an excellent amateur historian resource book, and I googled for other works of the same authors. They are numerous. And they are on sale at Amazon.com right now!

Hereby I present the results of my search, aka all books by the one or the other author (or written together) that might be of interest for fantasy writers. The prices start at $1.75 and go up to $14.95, with the exception of #6, which, for some unfathomable reason, seems to cost $300! Not that it’d count for me, as we won’t have the Euro until 2008 or so, and our money isn’t accepted by Amazon anyway. :(

Well, here is the list:

#1: Life in a Medieval Castle
#2: Life in a Medieval City
#3: Women in the Middle Ages
#4: Cathedral, Forge and Waterwheel
#5: Leonard of Pisa and the New Mathematics of the Middle Ages
#6: Daily Life: A Vivid, Detailed Account of Birth, Marriage and Death; Foot, Clothing and
Housing; Love and Labor in the Middle Ages
#7: Life in a Medieval Village
#8: Marriage and Family in the Middle Ages
#9: A Medieval Family: The Pastons of Fifteenth-Century England
#10 Merchants and Moneymen: The commercial revolution, 1000-1500
#11 The Knight in History

They have other books as well, but these seemed the most interesting for people like us. Cross-posted to Edhellond and the Otherworlds board.
