Eventually, Brian Price or somebody was going to publish "The Armour from the Battle of Wisby". WHEN are they going to do this? I personally would like a good copy of the book, and this would save me from being a public service for those who don't have access to it.

So, WHEN is it going to be published?
HOW is the format to be done? Hardback?
HOW much money is this going to cost me?
WHERE can I get this?
WHY are they taking their sweet time...?

A very good question. Thanks to the Clinton administration extending copyright to what most would consider a ridiculous extent about a year and a half ago, a lot of what was considered public domain from the late 19th & early 20th c. has fallen into the protected catagory.

He may well be dealing with the new laws (covering material 75 yrs past the authors death, I believe - looks like anything written by Sam Clemens just squeaks into the public domain ! Think about it, until 1997 with the new law - if I interpret it correctly, Huck Finn & Tom Sawyers exploits - written well over 120 years ago, and in the public domain for over 50 years would suddenly be protected material).

As a result he would need permission from the authors estate to put the book back into print. He may well need permission from the original publisher - he may have neither. I will have to jump through similar hoops when I get Maj. Brustem's book on the Burgundian army translated - assuming I can find anybody who wants to publish a translation.

The complexities of modern life....

He's still planning to do it, but wasn't able to give me any firm estimates on when the book would actually be published. He's put a lot of other things on his plate right now, and it didn't sound like this was the highest priority for him right now. I personally wouldn't expect to see anything from this for a while-- maybe as soon as late spring or summer of next year, but he may suprise me.
