It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

I found this paperback in a paper garbage can. I think it's in quite good condition.
Back cover text:
"To become the mistress of a great house was the challenge facing many women born into wealthy aristocratic families in the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries. An advantageous marriage could bring with it a significant ancestral home - a visible expression of power, prestige and good taste.
Rosemary Baird introduces us to the world of some of the remarkable women of the period, describing their individual accomplishments in the creation and running of great houses. We also learn about their education and training, the marriage market, and their obligations and duties once they were married. Mistress of the house is a fascinating insight into the women's everyday lives: how they communicated, travelled and entertained."
Because I read english so slowly, I think to release this book without reading.
