The book seller Heritage Archaeological Books in the U.K. bought the remaining stock of offprints from the Society of Antiquaries of London. An offprint is an article that was originally published in a journal (in this case "Archaeologia") that has been printed as a separately bound booklet. If your looking from any of the articles on armour listed below they currently have them instock at a small fraction (£4 to £9 each) of what you would normal have to pay a book seller for them. I've already ordered about 15 of them and they arrived in new condition. They have many other articles from Archaeologia as well, however they are sold out of "On Italian Armour from Chalcis in the Ethnological Museum at Athens" by Charles Ffoulkes 1911 vol.62."Armour from the Rotunda, Woolwich, transferred to the Armouries of the Tower, 1927" by Charles Ffoulkes; 11 pages of text with 2 figures + 4 b/w plates; Published 1928 Vol. 78 pages 61-72

Craig, what kind of turn around did you get ordering your stuff? Did you call in your order via phone or email, if you don't mind my asking. I'm trying to get a feel for how long this could take without actually calling overseas. Thanks!
