    Nah, never were. Didn't figure it would be very useful if you couldn't open it and lay it flat. I hate trying to work from books that keep springing closed unless you break the binding. That's why I used a Wiro binding.

    Scottish Tartans Authority carries it. Nick also used to carry it at the Kiltstore - I haven't looked lately to see if it's still in stock. At any rate, you can get it through the Tartans Authority. Or you can order it from me at http://www.celticdragonpress.com, and I'll send it directly to you via air mail.

    Grant, I have a first edition that was handled by Elsie that I could let go cheap ...

    I found mine new copy bent in half and stuffed in the mailbox this morning. I swear these guys are trying to prove every post office myth for incompetence ...

    But the book's in good condition, and the extra papers were a nice touch.

    Ah - the Scottish Tartans Authority will do just fine - now I can tell people where to go to find information when they request that I make them a kilt.

    As some of you might remember, I used to send the books out in boxes. As a result of postal rate increases, though, it now costs about $8 to send the book to the West Coast in a box. I decided to opt for flat rate envelopes and to protect the wiro binding with a slide-on rigid plastic sleeve. The packaging isn't stiff the way it used to be, and I hope that doesn't create problems. Given the cost of mailing in boxes, I'm hoping I don't have to go back to that.
