08 Apr 03 - 11:18 PM (#929182) Subject: RE: Folklore: Book/Lore and Language of Schoolchildren From: Malcolm Douglas The price looks reasonable, and it's a book that everyone with an interest in living tradition should have. I'm guessing that MMario's price is for a paperback edition? Watch out; some were bound very badly and will fall to bits with use, as my first copy did. Hardback (as in this case) is probably best for this one. I have a 1960 reprint now, and they are soundly made. |
